Amazon.com Product Description
The PowerBlock Travel is the ultimate iPod travel pack, as it lets your charge your iPod wherever you roam--whether in the U.S., Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, or elsewhere. The unit is distinguished by its twin flat-blade, non-polarized prongs, which impose no limitations on twin-prong outlets, making them ideal for international use. The PowerBlock Travel then adds several adapters that, combined, cover any kind of AC connection you'll encounter in your world explorations. Plus, the unit handles all voltages from 110 to 240 AC, and converts seamlessly to the 12-volt DC voltage that your USB devices require. And, of course, the PowerBlock Travel package comes with a high-quality Griffin dock connector cable for your iPod.

But with the PowerBlock Travel in your accessory arsenal, you'll never have to worry about running out of tunes while visiting exotic locales.

Really nice product. Works very well to charge ipod. It works like it says it does. Good design. It DOES work with ipod Shuffle, that's why I bought it!!


1 out of 5 stars Technical error in the USB output voltage description   January 3, 2008
  1 out of 5 found this review helpful

The product specification indicates that the USB output voltage is 12v.
This will burn out just about every USB device plugged into it...
The international standard for USB output voltage is 5 volts.
I assume that this is a description error??

I took this item to Argentina where it was a lifesaver. I used it to charge both my iPod Touch as well as my Garmin Forerunner 205. No problems whatsoever.

This ipod charger worked fine but the parts seem very delicate. Whenever I have to change the adapter I'm always afraid that I'm going to break something. I would suggest using a higher quality american charger and simply using a foreign adapter.

After a couple of months of ownership, this item stopped working completely for my generation 5.5 iPod. It's just past the warranty, so I can't return it. Lucky me.
