This worked great when I first got it. I had several cross country trips to make within the first 6 months of purchasing it and it worked perfect.
For reasons unknown it stopped accepting a charge. Whether it was from the wall or from USB or Firewire. It just died. Not only that, ever since it stopped accepting a charge it also drained my iPod video and it will no longer turn off. If I would have reviewed it 6 months after purchasing I would have given it 5 stars. I can handle the $60 spent on it because it really made those trips easier. But to have it suck the life out of my iPod and no longer work after just a year, I would give it negative stars if I could.

I was very skeptical when I first saw this product because it seemed amazing that a product that could give you 9 additonal video hours and 42 additonal video hours would not be well known. Since it was 60 bucks I felt it was worth the risk. Well, I received the battery and did a test by running 5 1/2 hours of video. At the end of the test, the battery still had two of its three green lights showing so it very likely would hit the 9 hours it claims. I immediately bought a second unit. The only downside is that you need to buy the Firewire iPod adapter (if your PC does not have a firewire connector) due to the unit only being able to be charged via firewire. The Video iPod does not have firewire, so the adapter for it does not work with this unit, so you just have to plunk down 30 busks for a firewire adapter to pluf the battery into to recharge. Well worth the price to have such an extended battery life.

This battery pack for the ipod is almost perfect! The $60 retail price is very reasonable for what you get. This battery is about as thick as the 30 GB video ipod and it lasts for a long time. I managed to watch 2 videos (about 2 hours each) and an hour or two of music before recharging. Even then, it still had about 30% of its charge left! I bought this to be able to watch the videos on my ipod video without sitting next to a wall outlet due to the poor video battery life, which is understandable due to the enormous amount of power needed for the videos. This battery lasts for a while, trust me! I'd highly recommend it. I also like the different sized pads and belt clip, so it'll work with any ipod. Overall, excellent purchase. Good job Tekkeon!
