Charge both the iBoost and the iPod, and transfer files, all at thesame time
Fits 20GB and 40GB iPods, and their Docks
Editorial Review:
Don't let the music stop with the iBoost for iPod. The iBoost is an attachable rechargeable battery pack for all full size, dock connector iPods, boosting its battery life by 7 hours for video and 16 hours for music. The iBoost's sleek design blends with the iPod, attaching to the back of the device, and wrapping up to the bottom. The iBoost is light enough, stylish enough and small enough to never have to take it off. It even features a dock connector pass through port, allowing song transfer, charging and docking of the iPod while the iBoost is attached. With the iBoost, the iPod can go as long as you can.

Worked well, at first:
I've had the Nyko battery pack for a year or more, and have used it regularly since then (anywhere from 10-40 hours a week). It worked as advertised at first, and seemed to add approximately the amount of time (16 hours) which it claimed to. But over the past several months it seems to be steadily losing capacity. It will go from fully charged to dead after 2 - 4 hours of use. Also it seems to lose charge even when it's not in use and disconnected from the iPod (this shouldn't happen with lithium... more info
Poor execution:
I purchased my Nyko ahead of a year long trip abroad, thinking it would be a bit of time between chargings. I ended up tossing it after only a month. Simply put, even the slim design adds enough bulk to where you no longer can comfortably fit your ipod into your pocket. The unit itself adds no discernable play time and if you have it plugged in to the power unit and the ipod at the same time, the ipod will not draw power from the unit, effectively draining itself. This means I was spending twice as... more info
I boost battery pack for Ipod:
Excellent Product, used it on my trip to Ireland. Easy to use, just charge and go. I was able to watch more movies with my video ipod this way on the long flight to Ireland. Highly reccomend this product.
exaggerated battery life claims, but still quite good:
I wonder whether or not any iBoost user has actually gotten Nkyo's claimed 'extra 7 hours' of video. Suffice it to say that I'm happy with the extra 3-4 hours that I have gotten from my Nyko. One thing that I don't like is that the Nyko seems to lose its charge after a few days. This necessitates charging it the night before you need it to ensure a full charge. At around $30 on Amazon I think the iBoost is quite good. However, I might take a look around to see if any other battery packs hold the... more info
