Bose has released four SoundDock speaker systems for the iPod at the date of publication: the SoundDock, SoundDock II, SoundDock Portable and the SoundDock 10. Each of the speaker systems use a power cord for the power supply. In addition to the power cord, the SoundDock Portable uses a rechargeable battery as a power source. You can replace a power supply for the SoundDock if yours is lost or broken.
