Customer Reviews of Maxell P-2 2-G Rechargeable Back-Up Battery Pack
Customer Review: The only device that hugely prolongs your iPod's lifespan!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product. In spite of some reviews it DOES work too with the 80 GB iPod Video [I've got three of them from 2006 & 2007 and the Maxell performs splendid with all three]. It doesn't matter if you use rechargeable or disposable AA batteries.
When you switch the power button on, your iPod switches automatically on too: I think this is the -safest and probably most effective- way to use this device.
On the matter of not charging the internal battery of the iPod: I think this is fantastic! The internal battery has only a limited amount of [dis]charge cycles and is spared this way, thus lenghtening your iPod's lifespan. And: research has indicated that the kind of battery built in iPods age considerably when kept fully charged [like in a dock, or connected to a charger]: with 'The Pack' you can keep the internal battery permanently 50% charged, a state in which the internal battery does NOT age!
But there's more. With two good sets of 4 NiMH [say 2500 mAh a piece] batteries and a charger, or with disposables, you can -if you wish to- keep your iPod mobile non-stop without the annoying charging sessions which, in my opinion, shorten the lifetime of an iPod considerably too when you do this via your pc. One can read so many stories about dying iPods when they are connected to the computer, supposedly many things can go wrong during this procedure. And when you're in a car, plane or at home: who cares about the extra weight of the battery-pack.
Last but not least: my iPod works much longer on one set of 4 AA 2500 mAh rechargeables than on one charge of the internal battery. Ten hours of video is no problem. On average, with varied ways of using [music, games and video] the battery-pack works -within a period of days when you use NiMH's, they have a very high selfdischarge rate- 24 hours!
Update: it does work with my 1G iPod Touch 32GB too. However, the internal battery of the Touch has to be fully charged!

Description of Maxell P-2 2-G Rechargeable Back-Up Battery Pack
Back up battery compatible with the Nano, Mini, 3G, 4G,and 5G video. Gives you extended play time, up to 15-20 hours extended play, for long trips and when power sources are not convenient. An LED indicator displays remaining battery life. The P2 comes with a clip for belt attachement or secure attachment to a 4th generation iPod. The P2 requires 4 AA batteries.Ideal for outdoor activities, long road or backpacking trips, and any other extended period when a power source might be several hours (or days) away, this backup iPod battery pack keeps your music flowing throughout the afternoon and night. The pack connects to your iPod's 30-pin dock connector, with a built-in clip keeping it securely attached to your belt. Once attached, the backup battery unit delivers an extra 15 to 20 hours of playing time, far more than the iPod's integrated rechargeable battery. And should the backup battery start to run down--as revealed by the LED indicator--simply insert another four AA batteries (not included) and you're back to full strength. The backup battery is compatible with the iPod 3G, iPod 4G, iPod photo, iPod video, iPod nano, and iPod mini and carries a 90-day warranty against defects.
