iPod battery life is an important issue to most iPod users. The iPod battery degrades over a period of time and is not easily changed by the users. 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 users that own the device would rather not attempt to switch the battery on their own. Did Apple actually make the iPod Nano 8GB to be a disposable digital audio player? No. The iPod Nano 8GB was designed to last a long while.
The lifespan of the iPod battery is just a couple of years, as it is lithium based. This nets the user hundreds of charges; however, at some point, the lithium battery will stop working. An iPod battery is not designed for user replacement.
Instead of being easily removed, the battery in the iPod Nano 8GB is a permanent part of the 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 replace 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.
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).
Never leave your iPod Nano 8GB inside a car. Never expose your iPod Nano 8GB to direct sunlight as this can damage the iPod. When not in use, engage the Pause or Hold button. When leaving the room, use the hold button to pause your iPod Nano 8GB.
Your iPod will continue to play if the hold button is not engaged. This can significantly impact the life of your iPod battery. 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 unless using it is absolutely needed. Under the Settings menu, choose Back light Timer, then select Off. Even when you're not using your iPod Nano 8GB, the battery power is slowly draining.
A small amount of battery power is still being used, even when your iPod is asleep. By ensuring your iPod is used and stashed away at room temperature, you can significantly limit the amount of battery current being used. By being proactive, you can enjoy the maximum life your battery has to offer.
