The Griffin Technology 002-TJUICE TuneJuice Battery Backup for iPod and iPod mini from Griffin Technology protects you from that ugly moment on the road when, just as you're rocking along to your favorite song, your iPod's battery expires, and you're left singing the rest of the song by yourself. TuneJuice is powered by a standard 9-volt battery, giving it enough juice to power your drained iPod for up to four hours, and power your partially charged iPod for up to eight extra hours. You can use TuneJuice to give added life to any dockable iPod or iPod mini.

Great add-on for a video capable iPod.:
Watching video on an iPod drains the batteries pretty quickly. I normally use a Tekkeon rechargeable Lirhium Ion external battery pack with my iPod and other small electronics.

I have given 3 as gifts and recently bought myself a second one since I see TuneJuice 1 is being phased out and I would hate to travel without it. I'm not sure what happened to the 1-star... more info
