Customer Review: A lifesaver for a long trip
Summary: 4 Stars
We recently took a trip to Florida and this saved lives! I have a child with autism who will play movies on the iPod during the flights to block out those horrible screaming babies. It really came in handy this trip! Loved it!Customer Review: Works great

This charger works great -- it is ideal for long flights to make sure you can keep watching movies on your video iPod or iPod touch / iPhone. Works as advertised.Customer Review: Turbo Charger TC-2

This product works on the iPOD Nano and touch. I like the fact that it will charge the internal battaer of the iPOD and the flashlight is a nice little extra.Customer Review: Product does what it promise.

Product does what it promise.
I have an IPOD gen5(video) and it charges it, but it take quite some time.
Item is not very robust but okay.
Customer Review: Great idea but doesn't work AT FIRST
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a great product, but it isn't assembled correctly.
Luckily, there's an easy way to fix tour turbo charge with a piece of aluminum foil.
First, open up the battery area and find the battery contact that's covered by a piece of plastic with half a circle cut out of it. This contact doesn't work because the bumps on the metal behind the plastic isn't directly lined up with the half circle.
To fix the problem, take a bit of aluminum foil about 1X4 inches and fold it over both ways to make a long strip. Size doesn't really matter that much.
Next, bend the two ends and put the strip into the end of the battery compartment (without springs) so that it lines the wall and blocks both metal contacts. Now, put the batteries in, but push the springs in more so that the batteries pin the strip to the wall but don't move it out of place.
You can now put the battery cover on and the charger should work.
This works because the metal at the end of the battery case only has the job of connecting the two batteries.
If it didn't work, check that the ends of both batteries are touching the foil. Also check that the foil is at the side of the battery case without springs and that the batteries are aligned the right way (one of the batteries has the positive end touching the spring unlike most battery cases).
If that didn't work, then the problem with your charger wasn't the contacts at the end of the battery case.
