As an avid snowmobiler who likes to take my Zune along the one thing that was missing was an extra battery option like I had on other MP3 players in the past. The ezGear pwerStick for my Zune was a great, easy to use solution so that I was able to have tunes wile riding all day long.

Just put your batteries (regular or rechargeable) in the little case and plug in the plug in the bottom of the Zune and you are ready to go. Very simple and convenient.

I had the same problem as Jonathan Scott. I have a zune 120gb, and the first time I plugged the powerstick into the zune it appeared to be charging the battery before the zune suddenly shut off. the powerstick made my zune completely unresponsive. I couldn't reset it, I couldn't reboot it, and when I plugged it into my computer, my computer didn't recognize that I had the hardware plugged in. ezgear powerstick broke my zune. consider this a warning. use this product at your own risk.

I love to take music camping with me and I needed a way to make the Zune last 3+ days. This is exactly what I was looking for. It worked flawlessly.

I would highly recommend this product to anyone who needs to use their Zune for an extended period without electricity.

This is truly a great add on for of you with zune players. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the way you have to work it. The way it works is the player must be turned off then the power stick is plugged in then turned back on. It charges it so long as you don't use it. The way I thought is was is it gives the zune power as long as it is plugged in. but it still works great just not in the manner that I thought. Still going to do some research to find out what I can fully do with it.

This product comes in handy quite a bit!!! I reccomend that everyone with a zune needs to get one!!!!!

This is a very handy little accessory. From zero charge, I was able to charge my Zune enough to turn it back on, finish the movie I was watching, watch another full-length movie, then charge the Zune all the way to full capacity -- and it still has power left.

Yeah, the connector is a little flimsy and it doesn't fit as snugly into the Zune as a genuine MS accessory, but that is pretty minor.

Just make sure to plug the powerStick in BEFORE your Zune goes dead, otherwise you will have to wait 5-10 minutes while it charges enough to use your device again. That is a function of the Zune and not a problem with the powerStick.

The product worked fine when my battery died and I plug it in and it started charging the battery right away, but I couldn't turn it back on. Then later I tried plugging it in when the battery was a little bit from full and it reset my zune. My Zune brought up a screen that said to plug it in to a computer to get started. I already had it about a third full so that screen didn't make sense. Then when I got home and plugged it in to the computer it acted like it was the first time that I had done this, almost like a fresh out of the box Zune would act. So I am reluctant to use the power stick any more.

The product does what it's supposed too. Charge your ipod killer-(Zune). I was happy until the first time I used it on a trip. After charging it I went to remove the chord from my Zune and the cord fell apart into pieces! Cheaply made.

Works as a power unit as well as recharger for my 120gb Zune on long trips, just get batteries and you are ready.

I got this and used it but it is too big and uses too any batteries. it does what it says it does but I also have to say the build quality isn't the best because the charging cable broke and I don't even know how. couple months back I replaced this with a duracell instant charger(Duracell Instant USB Charger with Lithium ion battery / includes universal cable with USB and mini USB,)

Still it's a good product that works as advertised, I just think there are now better options out there.
