Does this support a 5th Generation iPod Touch? Do you have to charge the battery pack?

Yes it does. And Yes, you'll have to charge the battery pack once you receive it.

I'm not sure as to the 5th Generation, but YES you do have to charge the battery pack. Then it can be used to charge your device when you're away from ac power.

I used one with my iPod Nano 5th gen. and it worked fine. Didn't try it with the "Touch" version. The Touch needs to have the large plug, not the new 'lightening' small one. Hope this helps!

It does not work with the Ipod Touch 4 generation. I did not use it with Iphone. Do not buy, I think.

Based upon the Lenmar website I'd say no it won't work with the IPod Touch 5th Generation. Here's a link to the site http://www.lenmar.com/mp3-ipod/apple/ipod-touch-5th-generation

I use an iPod Touch in mine, but it does charge it while I have it on the cradle. I can only assume that it will do so with the other devices.

I have an Ipod Touch and it works great, not sure if it works with the Ipod 5.

This is not compatible with the iPod touch 5, it will only work with the older iPod 4 and earlier versions. This device connects to the iPod by way of the older 30 pin connector. It does not have the smaller "Lightning" connector that the newer iPods such as the iPod 5 have.

I am not sure which generation iPod touch you have but this worked with mine. It also worked with my nano and iPhone but did not charge my wife's iPhone 4 and her newer nano. This only works with the 30 pin connector so if you have a newer device this will not work because if you add the adapter it will not close with the device attached.

It does not support the 5th generation ipod or iPhone, only up to the 4th generation, but if you can get the Bluetooth system that comes with it, it will work great

I have Ipod touches and it doesn't charge them. Very annoying. Have to pre-charge Ipod touches first or use mp3 cable.

The short answer is "sort of". The connector built into the dock is the old 30-pin type. The 5th gen iPod Touch uses the newer "lightning" connector. You could possibly get an adapter or simply use the aux-in just for audio (although you will be giving up certain features such as charging and wake-to-ipod). As cheap as this is, you probably want to find another solution if you have one of the newer ipods or iphones.

I have been able to charge 3rd and 4th generation 32 GB iPods. I am using it successfully to charge iPhone 5s. So it should work on iPod 5th gen.

Anyone tried this with an ipod touch 5th gen (with 30pin to lightning adapter)?

No it is not compatible with the 5th generation iPod. This model uses the 30-pin connector.

it should. I got my wife a 2nd generation and it charges it OK. I have a seventh generation Ipod. It uses the new 8 pin connecter and it charges it up just fine. I don't see why it wouldn't.

It works very well with my iPod but I don't know what version I have (one of the earlier models) which doesn't take the charge anymore and the battery cannot be replaced according to Apple, so I bought a Gembonics external battery. I can't imagine why it shouldn't work with a iPod touch 5. Hope it helps.

I see this is now shipping. Would appreciate if someone who has this would confirm whether it does charge the iPod Touch Gen 2.
