I have some of those eBay Wal-Mart style DVD batteries and would like to use them to juice up my iPhone and my kid's iPod, and maybe a laptop. Are any of these scenarios possible? Is it simply a matter of figuring out the right cable? Thanks.

you prob could with a iphone but i doubt you could a laptop
does the iphone use the same usb cable to charge/link as the touch?
if so then its 5v and you would just need a vr in the chain

Yes, same usb cable as the ipod touch. So 5V...bummer, I was hoping the iphone could handle the voltage from that battery directly. Can you recommend a voltage reducer or other gadget that would make this work? It's a 9V, 5400mah lithium-ion battery.
