Any External Batteries for the Zune that I can use?
so is there any external batteries that I can use for the Zune since the Belkin TunePower has been discontinued, I don't know if I should get the ones from Batterygeek.net but if there are any other ones, it would help please
From my "google" research the TunePower will extend your zune's battery life by 6-12 hours. Depending on your zune's settings, like backlight brightness, wireless setting, etc... the total amount of your zune's battery may differ to how you use your zune. Like if your scrolling through it constantly, or if your watching a vid can make a difference.
But if you really want to extend your battery life with out TunePower then I suggest these settings.
Wireless: Off
Backlight: 5 Seconds(1 seconds is even better, but I prefer 5)
Brightness: Low
Sounds: off
Touch: off(optional if you have a gen1 zune then you won't have this option)
This will definently help preserve your zunes battery life.
Hope this helps.

There is a combination AC charger/portable battery device called the Music Power Encore by a company called Powerline. I have one and it works well. Supposedly it hold enough charge to recharge the Zune once per charge of the battery. I use it mostly as an AC charger since it was cheaper than the Zune brand charger.
The company has a web site, and Amazon sells the devices.

I've seen several like that for the iPod. I'm sure there's one for Zune. Makes me think of the iPod/Phone charging stations being put in airports.
yea it could have been APC, im not really sure though
it said any mp3 player and i think that included zune and ipod, went for like 45, i tink
its sounds good
yea they do cost a lot, maybe u guys can make it a zunecentive?
not possible.. unless the sponsors give them it.. or support us... you have to buy it yourself mainly for those... too expensive.. lol
Edit: heres something you might be talking about also.. it was $1 kit at radioshack for ipod shuffle.. but this came in handy.. lol.. battery powered charger for usb i guess.. works for a while.. won't last long though

why would you want this the. battery life isn't that bad on the zune but thats my opinion
Battery life won't be an issue until it's not an issue : p. Batteries are one area I'm excited about in terms of future development. I hate having to even worry about them.
