What You Need to Know About Your iPod Battery

By James Logan

iPod battery life is an significant consideration to most iPod users. Once an iPod battery wears out, it is not easily changed by users. That's true, to a point, as the battery is lithium based; although it can be recharged up to 500 times, it does degrade over time.

When that happens, although it is possible for users to change the iPod battery themselves, many of them don't want to risk damaging their iPod Nano 8GB. This made some users to wonder if the iPod Nano 8GB was intended as a disposable MP3 player? No. The iPod Nano 8GB was designed to last a good, long, while.

As with all lithium based batteries, the iPod battery cannot be expected to last more than two years. This nets the user hundreds of charges; however, at some point, the lithium battery will stop working. Users cannot replace the battery the way they can with other digital devices.

When Apple designed the iPod Nano 8GB, they incorporated the battery into the devices circuitry. This created a wide open marketplace for third party manufacturers to offer an iPod battery replacement kit, including step by step instructions on how to remove and replace the battery in the iPod Nano 8GB. Owners of the iPod Nano 8GB may prefer to ship their device to Apple for iPod battery replacement.

In addition, Apple offers users tips on their website on how to maintain their iPod battery. Tips to extend the life of your iPod battery: Keep your iPod Nano 8GB at room temperature An iPod battery performs at its best when the iPod Nano 8GB is at room temperature.

You should not leave your iPod Nano 8GB inside a car. Never expose your iPod Nano 8GB to direct sunlight as this can damage the device. When unattended, click the Pause. Any time you are not using your iPod Nano 8GB, slide the button into the Hold position.

The iPod Nano 8GB will continue to play if left in the play mode, which will cause the iPod battery to drain completely. Make it a habit to turn off your iPod Nano 8GB when you're not using it to conserve battery power. Only use the back lighting feature when you really need it.

Back lighting can use up a lot of your reserved battery power. If you don't absolutely need it, turn it off. Under the Settings menu, choose Back light Timer, then select Off. Most people don't realize that even when their iPod Nano isn't in use, the battery is still active.

While your iPod Nano 8GB is sleeping, the battery is still fully awake, and loses a small amount of current. By ensuring your iPod is used and stored at room temperature, you can significantly limit the amount of battery current being used. By doing this, the battery in your iPod can last as long as 28 days. - 18758
