Back up Battery Pack

Hi,
I'm flying to Mauritius in a couple of weeks, it's about an 11.5 hr flight. I am looking for an external/backup battery pack to charge my iPad 4 during the flight. I have seen lots on amazon but they all have very mixed reviews, does anyone here have any suggestions?
Many thanks,
John

I have a zagg sparq and it works quite well. I have the older version and I know there are newer ones. I've also seen good recommendations on Targus' backup battery.

Belkin Back-Up Battery Pack

Does anyone know if the Belkin Back-Up Battery Pack for iPod Model# F8E464 is suitable for an iTouch?
Thanks

It certainly should work, yes. It's an older product, but all it does is provide power to the appropriate pins of the dock connector. My IPT charges (and transmits audio) in the dock that came with my 3rd gen iPod (from back in the FireWare days, and around the time the Belkin battery pack was released), so it should be just fine.
Hope this helps...

Zen Touch Back-up Battery Pa

Is there any where I can get a back-up battery pack for the Zen Touch, that takes standard batteries eg AAs?
Or, is are there any plans to develop one?
I know that pdinternal do one for other Creative products, but not the Zen Touch.
Any help gratefully appreciated.

Yes, these batteries exist & on a sale for pretty cheap. But think first do You really need one until your first one runs out? I'm asking because if You want to change batteries while traveling, You will have to open it with screw driver with high possibility to break smth. If You just want to preserve extra battery until first one runs out, it wion't work neither, because Li-Ion batteries' lifetime is 3 years, no matter if You use them oer not. But this is Your choice. If You really want one, here's the link:

Belkin external battery pack - iPhone

I have a Belkin "Back-up Battery Pack for iPod", model number F8E464 -- the one that takes four AA batteries, and was originally intended for a 3G iPod. Does anyone know if I can use this with my iPhone?

OK, so looking into this a little bit more, the charger that comes with the iPhone is marked "iPos USB Power Adapter". It has an output of 4V @ 1A.
The old iPod Firewire charger I have and the car charger I have are rated at 12V @ 1A, so I'm going to stop using them post haste.
Yikes!!

Battery pack mystery

Hi, Please help professionally
I am concerned about these product, are they safe or not
I have a 30 gb Ipod Video and I was thinking about getting some extra battery power for longer trips.
I looked at these products:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Rechargeable-Battery-Pack-for-iPod-Mini-Nano-iPod-Photo_W0QQ itemZ5835512645QQcategoryZ118261QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
and these
http://cgi.ebay.com/iPod-Belkin-Back-Up-Battery-Pack-model-F8E464_W0QQitemZ58328 49861QQcategoryZ118261QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
However, isn't the official ipod Battery output 3.7 volts?
So if one were to put 4 Alkalines of 1.5 v each that would total 6 volts, I want to know is this is a problem for the ipod? Or do these product trans down the voltage a little to have an output of 3.7 volts...
I wonder about this and if other people have used them before
Your feedback would be appreciated
Thankyou

Ruff,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The add-on battery packs likely are safe.
Here is a comprehensive review article on one of them.
Hope this helps.

Battery pack info please

I am now constantly running out of battery for my 3G iphone, i am a heavy user and looking to buy a battery pack. Can anybody give me info of any device they have purchased and how effective it has been in prolonging the battery life. I am looking at products like mophie and apple sell these now in store however they do a air version and a normal one but the difference is battery capacity 1200mAH compared to 1800 mAH (non Air) but much bulkier. Any body got some reviews for me ? any other makes to think about help will be very much appreciated.

I have had my incase power slider2 for almost 3 weeks now and I want to return it. not only does it make my iphone the size of a brick, but it won't work as a back up battery. In other words, I can be using the stupid phone, and the internal battery runs out and cuts me off, yet the power slider is fully charged with 5 dots on the back. I have noticed that it doesn't give you talk time. The phone must not be used in order for the internal battery to remain charged. That's useless to me. There's no problem while using the iphone as an ipod, but I still have to turn fetch and wifi off in order to take advantage of the battery being fully charged. Again, when I'm on the phone, it uses the internal battery until it's drained and NOT the life of the power slider. it's garbage to me.

Zen Sleek Docking Station (Also Muvo V200 Battery Pack) Quest

Does anybody know when the Zen Sleek docking station will be back in stock, or is it in stock anywhere else? I was hoping to get it before christmas. Is there a new one coming out becuase of the Zen Sleek Photo release?
Also I have a Muvo V200, is the Creative? MuVo? NX / MuVo? TX Battery sold in the creative store compatible with this product?
Thanks for the help

The battery pack for the V200 is a different size/shape to the one for the TX, NX, TX FM etc. More important I suppose is whether the actual MP3 module is the same size or not; whether the V200 module will fit in the TX battery compartment or not.
Creative's official answer will probably be that they are different. On first looks they appear different but someone with both players might be able to give you a better answer.

Belkin Back-up Battery

I'm thinking about buying this back up battery, i was wondering if anyone know how much playback you get with this while playing music and video? is there a better charger or is this one a good one to buy.

I have two of these packs in use. Is this the one you are referring to?:

I have been using 2500 mAh NI-MI batteries in mine and have had run times of 9 hours for video and 17 hours playing music. I also modified mine so as to keep the IPOD in the case. Here is my article:

A waring about back up battery please fellow ipod users do not buy!!!!!!!!!

Ok I m not new to Ipods. This is my 3rd Ipod already. A couple of months ago
I picked up a back up battery for the ipod. I think it was an I go Im not sure. It
attaches to your key chain. A 9volt duracell battery sticks in side the removable case and you plug it into your ipod. J&R cells it for about 12 bucks. I bought it because Im always on the go in school or just hanging out. And I didnt want to be stuck somewhere with no tunes. After using it the first time It messed up my battery now I cant use the home charger because the Ipod wont reconize it. The only way I can charge it is by mac thank god I have a mac. The battery does not last at all once its charged. I sent it into apples repair dept the said nothing is wrong with the ipod. So now I have to go to the apple store. The battery is really messed up and not knowing that those portable chargers can damage the ipod battery really got me messed up. Ladies and gents please do not put your self in a bind by buying one of those portable chargers. They are not what they seem. And now I wasted 12 bucks and 280 bucks down the drain over something that could have beeen prevented because I used a portable charger. So Im just looking out.

JV1, if you are early enough to get out of the contract, do it! If you browse through these forums (and other on internet) you will find this is Verizon 4G, it will NOT get better anytime soon. This problem has existed since launch, through the 4510L is the worst device they have, it's not the culprit, I have had all of them. It is the network.
Oh and by the way, Verizon isn't stupid, someone else pointed out to me the small print on the contract prohibits you from pursuing a class action suit against them. All disputes have to be settled by arbitration which is binding per contract. Guess they knew this would happen......

Is it possible to install the T60p BIOS update without a battery pack?

Hello,
I was running some maintenance on my gfs Thinkpad T60p, model 2007EC1, and the BIOS update failed since she does not have a battery pack. The battery pack is unavailable as it was left behind when she came here for the summer. Is it possible to install the BIOS update with out? Is there a work around?
Thanks for your time.
Edit: Sorry i forgot os. It is currently running win xp sp3

There used to be some jumper hacks on the web for the older Thinkpad models. Try a Google search and see if you find anything.

Can I use an external battery pack on my 17" Mac Book Pro?

Hi
This may sound like a crazy question, but is it possible to safely use an external battery pack on my Mac Book Pro?.....specifically a Bescor Video Light battery pack which I can just plug my a/c power cable into. This would be very useful in the case of a local power failure (which actually may just happen tonight, as we are currently in the middle of a blizzard).
Just wondering......
Thanks,
Anneita

Yes, you can use external battery packs — but I wouldn't use one that I wasn't perfectly certain was very carefully controlled.
External battery packs specifically designed for MBPs:

Another option, designed to protect sensitive equipment from power surges and enable uninterrupted computer usage during AC power outages and irregularities, is called an +uninterruptible power supply,+ and the leading manufacturer of such devices — which incorporate storage batteries of various capacities — is APC:

Change the battery pack

I have seen many people with this issue - I have a powershot ELPH 530HS and it has been working with no issues. Recently it started giving an error stating that i should "change the battery pack". This is a fairly new camera and i doubt the battery is faulty. Anyone seen this issue? How did you fix it?

You may need to let the rechargeable battery pack go completely dead before recharging. Some of the batteries get a "memory" if they get charged too often when they are not completely depleted of energy, and then won't fully charge. Use the battery pack until the camera just won't operate anymore, then try a recharge. There is a remote possibility that the battery contacts in the charger are not making proper contact, so just make sure the contacts on the battery pack and the charger are clean before plugging everything in.
