iPod Battery Tips

For best results, charge the battery fully the first time you use your iPod . A depleted battery can be 80-percent charged in about two hours and fully charged in about four
hours.

Your iPod… if properly charged will retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 400 full charge and discharge cycles. If your iPod battery does not hold charge any longer… you may need to replace it.

If your iPod hasn't been used for a while, the battery might need to be recharged. Do Not store your iPod with a flat battery.

A fully charged iPod will Even in sleep mode will drain the battery, your iPod uses a small amount of current, and the battery slowly empties. Stored at optimal storage temperature, the battery will drain in 14 to 28 days.

Your iPod battery works best when it’s at room temperature, generally near 20° C, but you can use it anywhere between 0° to 35° C (about 32° to 95° F). If you have left your shuffle in the cold, let it warm up to room temperature before waking it from sleep. Otherwise, a low-battery icon may appear and it will be difficult to get it back from sleep.

Do not leave your iPod in a vehicle's interior when parked in the sun. Temperatures may reach up to 150° F (65 °C).

Turn off your iPod  to avoid accidentally waking it up and playing songs in your pocket if its not been used. Do not use the pause button as this will drain your battery power quickly.

For best results charge with mains charger, with iPod turned off.

Remember your iPod has about 400 charge cycles and every time you place your iPod on charge you use one of those cycles. So it makes economical sense to give your iPod a full charge when needed rather than just top up charges.
