re charging the iPod: does Fidelio have an electrical connection or is recharging only through battery?

I actually havnt charged any batteries in it yet. I only have tested to see if the batteries work in it well and they do. The main connection is electrical. The batteries were only in it for testing purposes until I get rechargeables for it.

Only if it is connected to an outlet. If it is running on its own battery it will not charge your iPod.

Hi John,Sorry for the bad news but when apple changed their charging system from Firewire technology to USB it rendered all the newer models useless for charging. I had to resort to using the Ipod charger and then putting back on the dock. You're likely getting a "Charging not supported on this device" type of notice. My older one worked till it's final day but it was the old style. The only solution is a new dock system or find a cheap old one on Ebay. Best of luck,Cheers--Sam

battery is gone on my 5gen classic ipod and only works when plugged in to its old charger. Does not run with new classic charger. Will this drive it?

Yes, however it claims to charge the Ipod but from my experience it doesn't.

If I understand you correctly, that still leaves charging the iPod a separate adventure, whether you use the dock of the Altec or some other dock or USB it to your computer.

Not on battery power. The device needs to be plugged in via the AC adapter to charge your ipod.

My ipod froze once. I went to the ipod website and tried all the listed cures and none seemed to work. After a day, the battery drained, I recharged it and it has worked fine since. I use the ipod in an ihome alarm clock with remote so that may have caused some problems but like I said, it only froze up once and has worked well daily since.

There is no re-charge, it's battery operated. There is a round battery compartment located on the back.

You plug the 1.5mm jack (or maybe 1 mm jack, I don't know I haven't measured) into the FM transmitter and USB into car charger, or PC or wall charger and it will start charging. but you gotta have FM transmitter plugged in. It charges your iPod. The FM Transmitter runs off the ipod's battery.

With the one I had it would not charge the iPod. Ended up changing out the radio to a better set up that had USB plug in the front and a port for the iPod that way I don't need a cable like this that plugged into the back of the radio.

Charge it overnight using the USB cable with the smaller connector plugged into the cube and the USB end plugged into power source. If it still only play for a little bit after charging over night then you may have a defective battery.

PJC, My assumption is that the USB connector was not made to the correct specification. I make this assumption based on my overall displeasure with the charging unit. In short.....it doesn't work. I plug my Sansa Disk into a USB port on my computer and in an hour or so, I'm at 100% recharge power. I have actually monitored the charge on my Sansa Disk using the outlet plug-in charger. I would allow the MP3 player to recharge for an hour and to my dismay, the MP3 actually lost a significent percentage of its charge while plugged into the wall outlet. Frankly, the plug-in charger is worthless, in my opinion. I'm not surprised that the quality control on the size of the USB connector is dismal. Sincerely, cmp

It has its own battery & charger it doesn't use the battery of any device you plug in. But doesn't the iPod nano have Bluetooth built in? If so you don't need it because it's transmitter.

Yes it is. You have to pull the Ipod out to turn it on...a bit of an inconvenience to me.

Use the cable that came with your iPod. The usb end goes into the power bank
