I wondering if i'm thinking about this wrongly.

If the latest ipod nano has a 105mah battery, and an external battery charger pack thingy has say a 1050mah battery, would that mean it could charge the nano 10 times over?

In theory yes but thing lose there charge and energy is wasted while charging, so i would say you would get a good 7 full charges

Thanks for the reply. Seems almost too good to be true, as some of these chargers look much the same size as the nano, but if I go for it I'll find out I guess.

The nano doesn't have a very big battery though i haven't seen it in the new iPod nano. I know using battery packs for my iPhone once its fully charged it then starts to drain the external battery pack and then its own internal battery over time. so its one of those things you have to be around to make sure you disconnect its charged up.
