Charge your iPod without connecting it to a computer!
Using  the USB port on your computer to charge your player’s batteries is not  always practical. What if you do not have a computer available at the  time or if you do not want to power up a computer just for charging? Or  what if you are traveling? Chargers for Mobile Phones iPods and MP3  players are available but they are expensive and you need separate  models for charging at home and in the car.
This  charger can be used virtually anywhere. While we call the unit a  charger, it really is nothing more than a 5V supply that has a USB  outlet. The actual charging circuit is incorporated within the iPOD or  MP3 player itself, which only requires a 5V supply. As well as charging,  this supply can run USB-powered accessories such as reading lights,  fans and chargers, particularly for mobile phones.
The  supply is housed in a small plastic case with a DC input socket at one  end and a USB type "A" outlet at the other end, for connecting to Mobile  Phone, an iPod or MP3 player when charging. A LED shows when power is  available at the USB socket. Maximum current output is 660mA, more than  adequate to run any USB-powered accessory.
