iPod Battery guide for your iPod Nano

June 22nd, 2009

iPod battery life is an issue to most iPod users. The iPod battery degrades over time and it is not easily replaced. Although it can be recharged more than 300 times, the lithium based battery does eventually wear out. Moreover, because the iPod battery is soldered to the iPod Nano 8GB case, many people that own the device would rather not attempt to change the battery themselves. This caused 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.

As expected, after a few hundred charges, a lithium battery wears out. Users cannot replace the battery the way they can with other digital devices. Instead of being easily removed, the battery in the iPod Nano 8GB is a permanent part of the case. The frustration of not being able 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, which included instructions on how to remove the old battery and insert the new one. Owners of the iPod Nano 8GB may prefer to send their device to Apple for iPod battery replacement. In addition, Apple offers users tips on their website on how to conserve their iPod battery.

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. 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, engage the Pause or Hold button. Any time you are not using your iPod Nano 8GB, slide the button into the Hold position. iPod will continue to play if left playing until the iPod battery drains out. This can significantly impact the life of your iPod battery.

Most of the time, you will not need backlighting. Constantly using backlighting will drain your battery faster than anything. Turn off backlighting unless using it is absolutely necessary. Select: Settings > Backlight Timer > Off. You should be aware that even when you’re not using your iPod Nano, the battery is still active. Even though it is not much, your iPod battery is still being used, even as your iPod Nano 8GB sleeps. While you can’t stop the draining of your iPod battery, you can slow it down by storing your iPod at room temperature. By being proactive, you can enjoy the maximum life your battery has to offer.
