The tools I used were a sharp knife, an electric multimeter, soldering iron and solder, a pair of diagonal wire cutters, and some wire strippers.

Intelligent IC chip inside recognizes a fully charged battery and automatically switches to a saver mode to prevent overcharging and short circuit.... (some charger has this feature).
Based on FAQ from kensington website, keep charging the ipod is not a good thing, see here:

(it looks like iPod has no built in auto-stop-charging). What do you guys think?
"The power source and sink requirements of different device classes can be simplified with the introduction of the concept of a unit load. A unit load is defined to be 100 mA. The number of unit loads a device can draw is an absolute maximum, not an average over time. A device may be either low-power at one unit load or high-power, consuming up to five unit loads."
Which means that anything that can supply at least 500mA per port (i.e. two ports require a 1A supply, etc.) or more is completely within spec. If you have a 2A supply, I would just pick up a cheap four port hub and use that.
