Do you have experience charging an iPod (using wall electricity or AA batteries) in Europe?
I'll be charging my iPod every day, and... Griffin's "Power Block Travel" looks good: 110-240 V, with lots of plug adaptors, but they don't list "2nd-gen shuffle" (the iPod I have) as an iPod it will charge, and I'm wondering if this is ONLY because this iPod requires a dock (which Griffin doesn't include, but I have) or if it's actually a problem.
Or what about a charger using AA batteries (not wall electricity) as a power source?
I want to keep this message short, but here is
more information.

Reply to this Hi, the only way i know how to charge my ipod is to buy an actual ipod wall adapter which u can plug the normal cord u upload your songs thro from ur computer. You can buy it at ipod retailers and it costs around $40. I have also bought a european adapter so it can be charged in europe.
Reply to this I emailed Griffin, and they said that, yes, their charger will work with a 2nd-gen iPod shuffle. All it needs is a dock, which isn't supplied by them (thus their denial that it's "supported" because what they sell isn't 100% sufficient) but a dock is provided with every 2nd-gen shuffle sold by Apple. They also mentioned that you cannot listen to a 2nd-gen shuffle while charging it, but I wouldn't do this anyway. (can it be done with other iPods?) Craig
Reply to this Most other iPods allow you to listen while shuffling. I have an old mini and keep it charging while I play it in the car.
