iPod Battery guide for your iPod Nano

Tweet

iPod battery life is essential for many users. The iPod battery weakens over a period of time and it is not easily replaced. Although it can be recharged more than 300 times, the lithium based battery does eventually wear out. When that happens, although it is possible for users to replace the iPod battery themselves, many of them don't want to risk damaging their iPod Nano 8GB. Does that mean that the iPod Nano 8GB was designed to be a disposable device? No. The iPod Nano 8GB was designed to last a 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 change the battery the way they can with other digital devices. Instead of being easily removed and replaced, 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 change the iPod battery or sell users a do it yourself kit. Some users would opt on not to mess with changing the iPod battery and instead, ship their iPod Nano 8GB to Apple for replacement. In addition, Apple offers users tips on their website on how to conserve 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. You should not 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, employ the Pause or Hold button. Any time you are not using your iPod Nano 8GB, slide the button into the Hold position. Your iPod will continue to play if the hold button is not pressed. Make it a habit to turn off your iPod Nano 8GB when you're not using it to conserve battery power. Most of the time, you will not need back lighting. Back lighting can use up a lot of your reserved battery power. Turn off back lighting when you do not need it. Under the Settings menu, choose Back light Timer, then select Off. Even when you are not using your iPod Nano 8GB, the battery power is slowly depleting. A small amount of battery power is still being used, even when your iPod is asleep. Storing your iPod at room temperature will help to conserve the battery. Taking this one step will maximize the use of your iPod battery.
