I’m looking for a portable charger for my Clip+, battery started dying after a few hours (3-4h max). I’m running a 32GB microSD card and FLAC tracks, and battery life is a must for me. I looked over for some portable AA battery chargers, and found some, but most output 5V+, more like 5.6V, depending on the battery type. Will 5.6V usb voltage damage the Clip? If it works, I might charge the Clip+ several times on the go with just a battery, and that will rock my experience with lossless content.
EG: image a 2500mAh battery charging the Clip for 7-8 times fully. And the charger can be tied to the Clip+ as a ultimate battery juice player.

If you Rockbox that Clip+, you’ll get 15-17 hours of battery life with FLAC tracks, instead of 3-4.
In answer to your voltage question, more than 5V will fry the Clip+.
Hey, thanks for the ebay link, just ordered, it is cheaper than the 1*AA battery charger I found on dealextreme. Thanks!
I’l try to measure the voltage for both 1.2 and 1.5V batteries and see if the 5V output is max.
