Any car charger?
Hey,
Would any cheap USB car charger from ebay charge an..
iPod shuffle (1st gen)
iPod shuffle (2nd gen)
4th gen iPod w/ clickwheel
5th gen iPods videos
???
To charge them you would need the iPod to computer cable..so would they all work with those cheap USB car chargers?
Anybody got one before?

Mine works.
I've ended up with a couple of cheap USB chargers (ciggy lighter socket) and have had no probs charging ipod gen 2 and 5.
Best practice tho' would be to check output voltage.

Why not look up the USB standard? It is 5V @500mA. Then maybe check out the specifications of those cheap (nasty) Chinesey chargers in the ebay link you provided where the pictures show that the outputs of the advertised products range from 500mA to 1000mA @5V. NOTE: some reading may be required. 
PS. Try to imagine what might happen if USB ports (different devices) had different voltage outputs but the same plugs?
