Does anyone have the belkin battery pack for the iPod?
If you do have one, is it bulky looking when you put it on?

I've been looking for an actual screenshot of the belkin + ipod together but I just can't find one!

Damn, try and get that "deck-o-charge" set up on an airplane. Good luck.

That looks like a helluva expensive ten hours of ipoding. Two 9 volts and two AA? What's that cost? $9 bucks?

I take it the Belkin pack is a rechargeable?

Oh, I just checked it out. It takes rechargeables. $59? Ouch.

Here' s a pic of the ipod and charger together like you were looking for, cs1323

It basically doubles the thickness of the iPod; however, it's only about 2/3 the length.

Yeah, I saw the pic with the belkin + iPod, but I really wanted was a pic inwhich they were both on top of each other or connected.

I think the ultimate sollution would require quite a bit more engineering, but i've got some very intresting ideas.

It'd be very easy to splice an RC/Avation 11.1V 340mAH battery pack into the dock connector.

This would just about tripple the battery life of the iPod, I imagine. And the battery pack itself is a little over 80 grams, and 9/16th (12mm)of an inch thick. And 45mm (2 inches) tall) It could fit in it's carrying case and a doubling of the battery life isn't bad. Just connect the + and - pins into the firewire power pins of a male connector and you're good to go.

If more power was needed, progressivley larger battery packs could be used.

Unfortuatley, the charger for 11.1V lithium polymer packs is 100$ or more.

But think of how much iPodding you could do with a 11.1V 700mAH battery pack. (Hint: 24+ hours of battery life.) And these could be connected outboard to a belt connector so it wouldn't decrease the pocketability of these guys.

P.S. The last LED isn't suposed to be red. This was a belkin battery pack moded so the last power LED would shine green.
