Efficient vehicle and energy pioneer ZAP is offering a new series of lithium battery packs designed specifically to work with the iPod. Called iZAP, the battery accessories for the iPod are part of a new line of ZAP Portable Energy systems. The lithium-ion battery system, reportedly adding 28 hours of listening time to an iPOD nano, can be recharged up to 1000 times. The more generic Model: R15-FB offers the versatility to charge DC electronics from 4.0 to 19.0 volts through either a DC or USB port. If anyone knows if it's feasible to charge the multi-model charger with an inexpensive, small SPV panel, let us know. T’wood be the perfect communication readiness package for the coming hurricane and tornado season.

I'm not sure what you mean by "SPV", but if you are talking about a solar panel, then the answer is probably. Check the input needs for the charger and then look for a solar panel that has a higher voltage output. Since you seem to be talking about a DC powered charger, then you could connect it directly to the panel.
But seriously, if you aren't really sure of what you should get, talk to someone at a solar power store, and they will be happy to help you find exactly what you need.
