Energizer Holdings has introduced its Energizer Energi To Go Portable Power for iPod, a battery-based portable power source. The Energi To Go Portable Power for iPod runs off of two Energizer e2 Lithium AA batteries, and features a patented control chip that maximizes power transfer to the iPod. In testing, the device provided 46 hours of music playback on the iPod nano and more than 32 hours of music playback on the iPod with video. The device also features a flip design that allows it to function as a stand during charging. “For many consumers, digital music players are an essential,” said Mike Rivard, Energizer General Manager, New Products. “They don’t go anywhere without their iPods. This new Energizer Energi To Go Portable Power for iPod allows them to know that whether they’re on a plane, at the beach, or anywhere in between, their music will keep going.” The Energizer Energi To Go Portable Power for iPod will be priced around $30 when it goes on sale this fall.

Is this new? I saw a device this weekend at a freakin’ BigLots that had an iPod connector and ran off 4 AA included batteries. It was only $10 and I could have sworn it was Energizer branded.
Jeez, $10, why didn’t I buy the thing!

I saw it at Biglots today as well. I bought one even though I don’t have the iPod it has the adapter for. I figured that the 4 Lithium AA bateries cost $10 so I was gettig something free with the hope that more adapter tips would be available somewhere. Does anyone know if they are? I would love one of rmy PalmOne Lifedrive if they make it. Thanks!

I got mine at Big Lots on clearance for $7 bucks and just tested it with Nimh rechargeables and an Ipod Classic and works fine.
