Works perfectly. I also own the basic "Turbo Charge" which I used for my cell phone. This one is a bit better, as it's battery compartment will accept rechargeable batteries (the "Turbo Charge model that I have for cell phones is too narrow for the slightly wider-diameter rechargebles). I use the iTurbo instead of the Turbo Charge now for my cell phone as well as iPod. I called the good folks at Turbo Charge and asked if this was safe for the phone (they guarantee it is safe for the iPod); they suggested that I should use each device for its advertised purpose, but failed to provide technical data (that I requested) that would indicate there were differences in the units. It seems to work fine for both so that's what I'm doing. Love this unit!

3.0 out of 5 stars slow charger!, November 6, 2007

While you can charge the ipod with a single AA, it's VERY slow. The battery gets hot while charging, and when its done, the ipod only gets about 25-35% charge (from empty). To get a fully charged ipod, you need to repeat 3-4 times. Useful but not convenient.
