LIttle Cheaper Way to go For People in the US

This is a little Cheaper way to get a battery back for people in the US.
Only need 4 items from Radio Shack

Battery Holder

AC-DC Adaptor Cord.

Snap Connector For the Battery Holder

Adaptaplug Size H

Now Granted it isn't a nice neat box with a power switch, but it will do the same job as the others and a little easier on the wallet after the $400.00 Iriver price tag..

I am not going to go into detail how to hook it up it is more or less self explanatory, but if someone has some trouble I will help out..

I ended up using 4 AA Rechargables at 1.25v each to give me the 5v's charge light comes on when it charges as far as what kinda of play time I have nothing to go on since I just put this together last night... I hope this helps out someone else other then me. since the battery boxes the UK guys were using can't be found(at least I can't find them yet) here in the US..
