iPod Battery guide for your iPod Nano

By James Logan

iPod battery life is an important consideration to most iPod users. Once an iPod battery wears out, it is not easily replaceable by 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 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. Users expect the iPod Nano 8GB to last a long time.

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 not work. An iPod battery is not designed for user replacement.

This is because the iPod battery is soldered into the iPod Nano 8GB case. This created a wide open marketplace for third party manufacturers to offer an iPod battery replacement kit, including detailed instructions on how to remove and replace the battery in the iPod Nano 8GB. Apple also offers to change the iPod battery, but users have to send their iPod Nano 8GB to the company for replacement.

Users may also be interested in how to make their iPod battery last longer; tips can be found on the Apple website. The following tips and tricks will ensure your iPod battery will last longer: 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).

Do not leave your iPod Nano 8GB inside a car. You should never expose your iPod Nano 8GB to direct sunlight. When unattended, Press the Pause. 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. This can significantly impact the life of your iPod battery. Only use the back lighting feature when you really need it.

Back lighting can use up a lot of your reserved battery power. Turn off back lighting unless using it is absolutely needed. Select Settings, Back light Timer, Off. Most people don't realize that even when their iPod Nano isn't in use, the battery is still active.

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. - 18423
