Warning: It's not too difficult to replace your iPod's battery, but anyone who's too intimidated to install RAM in a computer should probably stay away. Also, you might end up scratching and possibly denting your iPod during the process (we didn't care; our second-gen iPod is scratched beyond belief), and you'll definitely void your Apple warranty by opening up the case. Again, our iPod's warranty expired more than two years ago. Proceed with caution.

You know what it's like. You're away from home, nowhere near your car, you haven't got your mains powered charger with you (which is fine because you don't have access to a wall socket anyway!) and your mobile phone has just run out of battery power (again). Or maybe your iPod has just played its final tune...

The iPod PowerStick plugs into the Dock Connector on the bottom of the iPod. Once plugged in, switch the power to on, and start charging.

The Solio is the most innovative and environmentally friendly solar iPod charger ever designed, and makes the use of solar technology easier than ever - attach a cable and press the button, that's it!

Over time you may have found your 3G iPod battery not staying charged for as long. This reduces your listening time and increases the need to have your charger handy more often.

When you're on the road a lot it can be hard to keep your iPod charged up. Well, not any more! Macally's USB car charger uses your iPod's USB cable and plugs straight into the cigarette lighter in your car, and charges your iPod as you drive. So no more journeys flicking aimlessly through local radio stations - listen to your favourite music all the way.

This external battery connects to your iPod via the USB cable that connects to the computer. While connected to the iPod, the battery acts as a power source - it will charge your iPod whether in use or not in use.

Especially designed for easy use and portability, the Gear4 PocketPower will provide up to 8 additional hours of playback.

This battery booster and silicone case combo from iLuv work perfectly together. The silicone case protects your iPod from scratches and lets the battery booster fit on the bottom of your iPod video 30GB without a hint of resistance. And, more importantly, once the battery booster is attached you'll get lots (and lots) more time to listen and play with your iPod!

Over time you may have found your 4G iPod battery not staying charged for as long. This reduces your listening time and increases the need to have your charger handy more often.
