I thought this would be a convenient product to use when I need to charge my Ipod, boy was I wrong. First off, you will only get a complete charge if your battery is more than half full. If your battery is almost dead dont waste your time using this charger. Secondly you will have to change the battery more than 5 times, and even then it may still not be completely charged. I went through 5 new batteries and my Ipod was still not completely charged.So if you have the time and the batteries then go for it, otherwise get a charger that you can plug into an outlet.
