ipod external battery hack, dock connector to power

sorry if this should be in the ipod forum.

I am trying to take the dock connector to fire wire cable, chop off the fire wire connecto, and take the power lines, and wire my own battery pack. (if you use 2 AA's and two 9 volts, it matches the voltage). I just need to know, which wires are the ones i need for power when i chop off the fire wire connector. Thanks!!
