A Quick Guide To iPod Battery For Your iPod Nano 8GB

By James Logan

iPod battery life is essential for many users. Once an iPod battery wears out, it is not easily replaceable 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 a period of time.

Moreover, because the iPod battery is soldered to the iPod Nano 8GB case, many users that own the device would rather not attempt to switch the battery on their own. Did Apple actually create the iPod Nano 8GB to be a expendable digital audio player? No. Apple designed the iPod Nano 8GB to last a long time.

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

This is because the iPod battery is soldered into the iPod Nano 8GB case. The situation this dilemma created caused untold frustration to iPod Nano 8GB users, who were quickly offered an substitute by 3rd party manufacturers who agreed to either replace the iPod battery or sell users a do it yourself kit. Owners of the iPod Nano 8GB may prefer to ship their device to Apple for iPod battery replacement.

Users may also be interested in how to make their iPod battery last longer; tips can be found on the Apple website. Want to make your iPod battery last longer? Read on: An iPod battery operates at its best when the iPod Nano 8GB is at room temperature, between 0 to 35 C (or 32 to 95 F).

You should never leave your iPod Nano 8GB inside a car. You should never expose your iPod Nano 8GB to direct sunlight. When unattended, click the Pause. Take advantage of the Hold function the iPod Nano 8GB offers if you will not be using it for even a few minutes.

Your iPod will continue to play if the hold button is not pressed. Always turn off your iPod when not in use to save battery life. Most of the time, you will not need back lighting.

Always using back lighting will drain your battery faster than anything. Turn off back lighting when you do not need it. Under the Settings menu, choose Back light Timer, then select Off. You should be aware that even when you're not using your iPod Nano 8GB, the battery is still working.

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 stashed away 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. - 18424
