The downside is the pack's weight and size. It is a solid unit built to last. This unit performed very well. I used it on a 14 hour flight and I did not have to change the batteries once. Other than those two items the unit is worth the price.
It was clutch this year and gave them at least 10 more hours of play. It says it's not compatible with the 5th Generation Video ipod but it is. My husband bought this for camping with his buddies - last year the ipod died and he had to hike out and charge it in the car. Works great.
I instead went with a USB charger that works will all ipods; its made by duracell, plus you get the batteries and a car charger. Why can't all companies make products as intutive as duracell's. After reading the reviews i thought that this would work with my ipod touch 2g, however it is incompatiable, i tested it just to make sure for 4 hours and it didn't work. Here is the description for those shoppers out there, Duracell Mobile Charger CEF23DX4N.
This product does not work with the new iPod Touch. NO WAY, it maybe ok for other iPod's but do not waste your time if you have the new iPod Touch.
And just to reinforce what others have said, this battery pack does NOT charge your iTouch internal battery. So with the extra 8 hours we were able to watch video for a total of about 13 hours. I bought this battery pack for my wife's iTouch, specifically for long plane rides where the internal battery pack won't suffice while watching movies. The Maxell battery pack gave us about 8 or 9 hours of extra video time, which was just a little less than I was expecting, but still great. It is simply an external power source.
