Product Description
Belkin Battery Pack for iPod keeps the music playing by letting you power your iPod device with replaceable batteries - even when your internal battery is drained. It's a great solution for long plane flights, or hikes, or for anytime you don't have access to an AC outlet. The Battery Pack uses four standard "AA" alkaline batteries that you can simply replace when the charge is gone. Discreet suction cups secure the unit to the back of your iPod, without marring your iPod's finish. In addition, the Battery Pack incorporates a charge-level indicator, so you can tell ahead of time when your batteries are running low and never be caught without your tunes again.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Belkin F8E464 Backup Battery Pack for iPod is a great solution for long plane trips, bus rides, hikes, or any other time where you are going to be without easy access to an AC power outlet from which to recharge your iPod. Made expressly for use with the Apple iPod, this backup battery pack runs on four AA batteries, and provides emergency power to your iPod for up to 15 or 20 hours once its own internal battery has run out. Simple and easy to use, this unit is constructed of durable white plastic that complements your iPod, and secures to the back of your iPod via two compact suction cups that protect your iPod's finish. The Belkin backup battery has a built-in dock connector that plugs in to the bottom of your iPod to provide power, an LED charge-level monitor that lets you know when you need a fresh set of batteries, and a hold switch that prevents its accidental powering on or off and lets you determine whether you want to run on your external batteries, or save said batteries until your iPod's battery runs dry. Compatible with older iPods--such as the iPod 3G--the Belkin F8E464 is backed by a manufacturer's lifetime warranty. What's in the Box
Belkin F8E464 backup battery pack with dock connector, 4 AA batteries, 2 extra suction cups, a user's manual and warranty information.

Great for iPod - How about the iPhone, 2007-07-15
I've been using this rather bulky power bolster for my iPod on long trips, and it works well. Leaving now for a trip with my iPhone, I'm wondering how this will work with that device. Anyone have any experience with that?
A little bulky, but quite effective, 2007-06-08
The battery backup is a great way to extend the battery life of your iPod. It uses suction cups to attach to the back of your iPod. It is a great way to extend the time between charges. It is a little bulky, but works well. It is roughly the same size as my 60GB iPod.
A life saver for a long plane flight., 2007-05-11
I have a nano, and had a 14 hour lane flight ahead of me. This unit says it does not work with a nano, but by using a rubber band, I was good to go.
It works great! used it both on the outbound and return leg, and the batteries never got below 1/2 (almost 25 hours of playing time.)
Could be better, 2007-08-02
For the 30 bucks that I spent on it, I was minimally impressed. The very first road trip that I used it on, it died out in 3 hours.
The batteries were fresh out of the pack as well.
Another thing is that it will not work with the case I have on my iPod. It's one of those snug fit Incase brands. It fits just fine when I charge in my computer, however, it will not stay in with the battery pack on.
My Recommendation:
If you are going on a road trip, invest in the car charger.

Believe it or not, I ordered this a couple of years ago, and haven't used it yet, it's still in the package !! However, it appears to be a very sturdy unit, and from a visual perspective, I would recommend this unit.
