You could try this one, I think they'll probably post to Europe.......it's not APC but it's a hellavalot cheaper.....
USB BATTERY PACK iPOD iPHONE Touch UNIVERSAL CHARGER GB on eBay, also Other Apple iPod Accessories, Apple iPod Accessories, MP3 Player Accessories, Consumer Electronics (end time 07-Jan-09 21:30:00 GMT)
I ordered mine a couple of days ago, it arrived this AM & is now charging from PC USB socket.
Output is 5.3 volts @ 1250 milliamps.
The good news is that it's 'Buy it now' at £9.99 plus postage.
The even better news is that the vendor accepted my Offer of £7.99 - if you're cheeky enough you may even get it cheaper!
Cheers

PS - takes 9 hours to charge from the USB socket so I'll let you know later how it works........
I've been using this Battech device for 2 weeks now and can confirm that it 'does everything it says on the can'
Size wise, it's about 85mm x 57mm x 20mm - weight is about 150 to 160 grams (guesstimate!) so, although it fits nicely, it's a little heavy for your shirt pocket, in practice, after a few moments you tend to not notice....
Power in is via mini USB socket- Power out is by normal usb socket.
Input is 5 volts (from any usb port)
Battery capacity is 4400 mAh.
Output voltage is 5.3 volts at a maximum discharge rate of 1.25 amps.
The device is short circuit protected and has a battery capacity indicator (6 red leds on = fully charged). You need to press a switch to view the indicator - I guess this is a power saving feature.
I've been using it with one of DY's extended usb sets and it works perfectly.
A full charge lasts me for well over a week, I've not allowed it to discharge completely, re-chargeing it when the battery indicator got down to only 1 red led illuminated.
I'm very pleased with it, and it's doing a great job for about a quarter the price APC device. (UK prices)

PS - one of our members managed to get one from the same supplier for £6.99........................
