Cellboost
How many times have you been traveling and your iPod flashes low battery? One of the fatal flaws I believe of the iPod is the inability to change batteries when they run down. My old Nomad took AA batteries, so if I couldn’t recharge them, I could run to the drugstore and get a few hours of use.
Cellboost makes a iPod battery pack that claims 8 hour of usage. It attaches on the bottom of the iPod on the docking port and it’s the size of a 9-volt sized battery. In my personal tests, I got 4-6 hours of usage from the battery, but I was using the iTrip transmitter, which I know drains the battery quickly. The cellboost costs slightly more than the average pack of batteries and some drugstores even carry them. Every health club should sell these for people that forget to charge their iPod before a workout.
I know keep one in my car for those times my battery runs down and I don’t have a laptop. If you rely on your iPod for an extended time away from a charging source, keep a few of these around.
Pros: Does exactly what it says.
Cons: None.
