The Richard Solo is a rechargeable lithium ion battery that is perfect for your iPod. If you’re one of those who loves to use the iPod until the battery drains but are always out of the house, a spare battery will definitely be a good companion.

The Good: Works well as an external backup battery. Solidly built. Comes with a retractable USB zip cord and a wall plug. Takes only an hour to charge.

The Bad: Adds bulk to any iPod.

The Bottomline: An extra iPod battery if you have an extra $50 to spare won’t hurt. Good old Apple products can make good use if a backup battery always.

Price: Starting at $50
