iPod Battery guide for your iPod Nano

By James Logan

iPod battery life is an issue to most iPod users. Once an iPod battery wears out, it is not easily changed by users. This contention has merit, because, although the iPod battery can be recharged hundreds of times, it does lose power over time.

Furthermore, because of the way Apple designed the iPod battery, it is difficult for owners of the iPod Nano 8GB to replace it on their own. Does that mean that the iPod Nano 8GB was designed to be a disposable device? No. Apple designed the iPod Nano 8GB to last a long time.

The lifespan of the iPod battery is just a couple of years, as it is lithium based. Although users can expect to obtain 300 to 500 complete charges but eventually, lithium batteries wear out. An iPod battery is not designed for user replacement.

This is because the iPod battery is soldered into the iPod Nano 8GB case. The frustration of unable to change the iPod battery didn't last long though, as savvy marketers capitalized on the situation and offered owners of the iPod Nano 8GB an alternative replacement iPod battery, that had instructions on how to remove the old battery and insert the new one. Owners of the iPod Nano 8GB may opt to ship their device to Apple for iPod battery replacement.

Users can also learn how to maximize the iPod battery power by logging on to the Apple website. The following tips and tricks will ensure your iPod battery will last longer: An iPod battery works at its best when the iPod Nano 8GB is kept at room temperature.

You should never leave your iPod Nano 8GB inside a car. Never expose your iPod Nano 8GB to direct sunlight as this can damage the device. When not in use, employ the Pause or Hold button. When leaving the room, use the hold button to pause your iPod Nano 8GB.

iPod will continue to play if left playing until the iPod battery drains out. Always turn off your iPod when not in use to save battery life. 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. You can do this by choosing Settings then Back light Timer, then Off. Even when you're not using your iPod Nano 8GB, the battery power is slowly depleting.

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. Taking this one easy step will maximize the use of your iPod battery. - 18424
