ZAP today unveiled a new series of lithium battery packs designed specifically to work with Apple's iPod. ZAP's Portable Energy chargers and power packs are designed to work with iPod mini, iPod shuffle, iPod nano, and fifth-generation video iPods. The energy solution for the iPod shuffle can extend listening time by up to 60 hours, according to the company, and the lithium-ion battery system can be recharged up to 1000 times, offering up to four times the power of conventional batteries. Each ZAP Pack uses a smart microprocessor control system that can power a variety of mobile electronic devices including handheld PCs, digital cameras, cellular phones, audio, DVD, compact disk players, video cameras, laptops, and more. Several models also charge DC electronics from 4.0 to 19.0 volts through either a DC or USB port. The iZAP battery pack is priced at $50 for iPod nano, $60 for iPod mini, and $60 for iPod video. The D-14 Universal Charger can power iPod shuffle players, and is priced at $60.
