How long does the iPod classic battery last, playing games only?

I bought a few different games for my new 80 gig iPod classic. Im curious to know how long the battery will last, fully charged, playing music, and games together. I want to take a 5 hour trip on a plane without the worry of the iPod dieing going one way, because I will not be able to charge it.

1. Playing the music, 5 hours is no sweat for the iPod. With the additional strain of constant screen display, and actively using the touch wheel continuously will drain it much more quickly. I think you'd be pushing it for a full 5 hours if you are continously. My suggestion would be to consider one of the portable power packs for the iPod, maybe one of these: http://www.chrisdiclerico.com/2004/10/24/ipod-altoids-battery-pack-v2/
