I'm thinking about buying a really cheap 1,500 mah external battery to charge my iPod Touch 5g. Do you think it would be a good idea to do so? Or does it damage the battery and possibly reduce it?
iPod touch, iOS 6.0.1
There will be no harm in them, no, as long as they provide the appropriate current and voltage or otherwise have defective or noncompliant parts. Make sure you get a pack certified for use with iPods. Whether it's worth it to haul around a bulky battery pack in addition to your iPod is up to you.

Thanks for the reply. I believe the appropiate voltage for any iPod touch is 5V, but I really have no idea about the current. Maybe anything between 110 and 220? Please correct me if I'm wrong..
No, 110v and 220v are voltage from your wall socket, not current, and only appies to an AC adapter. An iPod touch requires, I believe, 5V at 500mA. Again, just make sure that the battery pack is certified for the iPod touch and, assuming that the pack is of good quality, you should be fine.
Regards.
External battery for iTouch. Are they a good idea?
