iPod Battery guide for your iPod Nano

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 people do not want to risk damaging their iPod Nano 8GB. Did Apple actually make 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 cannot be expected to last more than two years. Although users can expect to obtain 300 to 500 complete charges, eventually, lithium batteries wear out. Users who think they can simply open the iPod Nano 8GB case and take off and replace the battery will be disappointed.

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 alternative by 3rd party manufacturers who agreed to either change the iPod battery or sell users a do it yourself kit. Owners of the iPod Nano 8GB may opt to send their device to Apple for iPod battery replacement.

In addition, Apple offers users tips on their website on how to maintain their iPod battery. Want to make your iPod battery last longer? Read on: An iPod battery performs at its best when the iPod Nano 8GB is at room temperature.

Never leave your iPod Nano 8GB inside a car. You should never expose your iPod Nano 8GB to direct sunlight. When not in use, engage 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. Make it a habit to turn off your iPod Nano 8GB when you're not using it to conserve battery power. When the room is well lit, you don't need back lighting.

Always using back lighting will drain your battery faster than anything. Turn off back lighting when you don't need it. 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 working.

While your iPod Nano 8GB is sleeping, the battery is still fully awake, and loses a small amount of current. Storing your iPod at room temperature will help to conserve the battery. By doing this, the battery in your iPod can last as long as 28 days. - 18762
