Is there any way to use an external battery pack, or standard AA batteries?
Yes. Belkin makes an external battery pack for the “dockable” iPod that takes 4 standard AA batteries. Battery Tech also makes a high-capacity external rechargable battery. Big Wave Power makes a universal high capacity external battery and charging pack. There is also a do-it-yourself kit that allows you to run and/or charge your iPod from standard AA batteries. Q: No one else uses an integrated battery! A: Dell’s DJ portable music player uses an integrated, non-user-replaceable lithium ion battery, just like the iPod. Many other music players, from vendors like Gateway, Samsung, iRiver, and Rio – all viewed as the competitive comparisons to iPod (local mirror) – also use integrated lithium ion batteries sealed inside the enclosure. Q: Apple only released their battery replacement service because of all the bad publicity from iPod’s Dirty Secret. A: While often claimed, this is not true. Apple released the battery replacement program November 14, 2003. The domain ipodsdirtysecret.com
