If you are planning a long trip to the country side then carrying your music machine iPod will be a great option.

But still the main problem that you are expected to face is that the battery of the iPod will soon give way when you are still driving to the country side and once that happens your music machine is nothing but a sexy-looking brick.

You have an option of buying some external battery packs that are commercially available, but what to do if you don’t want to spend so much on it.

• A holder for the batteries
• A Firewire socket
• A diode
• A bic pen
• Some zip ties
