External battery for iTouch. Are they a good idea?

I'm thinking about buying a really cheap 1,500 mah external battery to charge my iPod Touch 5g. Do you think it would be a good idea to do so? Or does it damage the battery and possibly reduce it?

No, 110v and 220v are voltage from your wall socket,  not current, and only appies to an AC adapter. An iPod touch requires, I believe, 5V at 500mA. Again, just make sure that the battery pack is certified for the iPod touch and, assuming that the pack is of good quality, you should be fine.
Regards.

    I'd just like to say that ahs70's post on Dec 1, 2013 at 1:17am on Pg. 9 worked for me as well: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5338609?start=120&tstart=0
    If your iPhone's battery is acting up you need to determine if it's a software issue or a hardware/battery issue.  To do that, after syncing your iPhone, erase/hard reset all data and settings from your iPhone to what it was from the factory as new.  This can be found in Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings.  Then test it out for a day or two.  If it's still acting up then it's likely a hardware issue and you will need to get your battery replaced.  If your warranty is done than check out this link to get a battery kit to replace your iPhone battery yourself:  http://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-5-Replacement-Battery/IF118-001#produc tDescription
    If your iPhone is now working properly after hard resetting it than it's most likely a software issue.  This battery issue only started after upgrading to the new iOs7, so it is obviously related to the update not properly installing itself.  What has worked for me and many others is to manually update to iOS 7.0.4 using the full downloaded version of the update which is about 1.32 Gigs.
    But first you need to find out what model of iPhone you have, click here to determine if it's GSM or CDMA: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Then go here and scroll down to download the iOS 7.0.4 complete update for your device:  http://www.downloadios7.org/download-ios-7-0-4-ipsw-file.html
    Then scroll up on the download page and follow the instructions of updating your iPhone manually following the instructions below:  "IPSW with iTunes"
    And your done.
    Problem solved.
    I only posted this because it was a very frustrating problem that no one really seemed to figure out a solution for.
    I hope this helps.

  • External battery for iPad 2?

    I want to use my iPad 2 (purchased in Australia) on a 24 hour international flight.  Is there some kind of external battery I can buy so I can use the iPad 2 for longer than the standard 10 hours?

    Google or Bing is your best friend.  However, I'll do it for you this time...

    Also, more and more airlines are putting power ports in coach seat locations.  I think they all have them in F/C or business class.  You can buy a power port adaptor from Apple or other locations that will power your iPad from either an airline seat or a car with a power port.

  • What is the best external battery for iphone 4s

    what is the best external battery for iphone 4s

    I bought the Mophie juice pack™ powerstation from the Apple store for $80. It has more then enough power to quickly boost the charge on my iPhone4S to an acceptable level. It requires the standard 30pin/USB Apple cord to plug into it.
    But unless you need to charge your phone from 5-100%, this battery is overkill. It's a real hassle having the Apple cord connected to your phone whilst there's a battery in your pocket and you end up looking quite strange with your "corded" smartphone.
    I might recommend a battery case (Mophie has these), but they don't offer the protection that I need (I use a LifeProof case).  Instead I would buy a smaller Mophie juice pack™ reserve (keychain, direct plug) to get out of a bind and then charge up your iPhone in the car, wall, airplane, etc.
    My only concern with the above (direct plug batteries) is that the slightest bump and the battery becomes a lever that could break the 30 pin plug on your phone, just like that warily flimsy feeling when you put an iPhone in a dock.
    Hope that helps, at least in the Mophie department!

  • The Best External Battery for 5th Gen iPod

    I read something a while back about a new external battery for the iPod that gets ridiculous results. Im talking about 80 worth of music playback and 20 hours of video. But I cant remember the name of it. Does anyone else know which one Im talking about?
    KT

    There are tons of different external battery packs, systems and do it yourself solutions out there for iPods as well as generic USB devices. So unless you know something more specific about the one you saw, I doubt any of us can pin point it with "external" and lots of power, as most of them boost this stuff.
    Do a web search and you will likely find many more candidates.

  • External HDD   G-Tech  are they worth it.

    I will need to get an external HDD for my forthcoming iMac, and am looking around at which to get.
    Now all the photos I see on the Apple website or in emails they send me have the G-Tech external HDD on show.
    Are these really worth the premium price over other brands or just good marketing by G-Tech to get them used by Apple
    I'm looking at a 1TB firewire 800 Drive.

    What are you using that drive for? If it's for Time Machine, a fast drive would certainly not hurt, but it is not necessary either. Time Machine would work fine over a USB 2.0 connection, and USB 2.0 external drives are usually less expensive. They also seem to be less finicky, and even the cheap stuff works reliably. I have a large external SATA drive connected (more or less permanently) to one of these USB adapters
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/U2NV2SPATA/
    and it's been working fine as my Time Machine drive for over one year. I just put four little adhesive rubber nubs (that you can find in a hardware store) on the bottom of that drive, and it sits on my desktop.
    If you are getting FireWire 800 for performance and primary (not backup) storage, then it makes sense to pay extra for quality. I've never owned a G-Tech drive, but they seem to make good stuff, as do LaCie. So does OWC with their NewerTech brand (macsales.com), which I do own. I also have a Macally enclosure, and it has been solid. For FireWire, I tend to avoid companies that are not focused on Mac users. Some of them put extra Windows features their drives that seem to interfere with them working on reliably on Macs. Others, for some reason, cannot be used as a startup disk, even though FireWire has always been bootable (even on PowerPC Macs).

  • Artworks consumes more battery power significantly? Maybe a GOOD IDEA!

    I'm searching for ways to improve battery power and...
    1. Artworks consumes more battery power significantly?
    2. If we found a program that equalize (ROCK for example) all mp3 before copy to iPOD, it discards EQ on iPOD to improve power?
    Good idea???
    Thanks!

    significantly?
    Very insignificantly... to such a tiny degree that it's not an issue.
    2. If we found a program that equalize (ROCK for
    example) all mp3 before copy to iPOD, it discards EQ
    on iPOD to improve power?
    Good idea???
    If that's what you want, then I guess it's a good idea. Be aware that raising the eq level also increases the volume. iPods distort extremely easily when the volume going into the amplifier exceeds a certain level.
    Once you've run your eq software, be sure to use a piece of software called mp3gain on your files after you do your eq. It will analyze your files and completely losslessly adjust the volume, without even modifying the song bitstream data - magic! This software can handle mp3's by default, and AAC files if you add something else.
    http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/
    But before anyone else thinks of running mp3gain on their mp3's or AAC's... DON'T do it for files that have already been imported into iTunes if you use the 'sound check' feature!!!!!!
