What you have to realize is that it's not the time period that sets when your battery messes up. It's the amount of times you charge it.
Tips for Extending battery life [as in, the "life" before it becomes dead): Don't charge unless your iPod is in dire need of recharging, because this will wear down your battery more quickly. (Like cell phone batteries, after a certain amount of charges it starts deteriorating.) Do NOT use your charger in another country without an adapter/converter. This will REALLY burn out your iPod battery life extremely quickly. (I had to learn this the hard way, but my mom refused to buy me an adapter. not my fault :P) ---------------------------- Tips for saving battery (although some of this is common sense): When not using your iPod, put it on hold so it doesn't accidentally turn on. While you're listening to music, why not keep it on hold as well? Don't change songs a lot. Best if you just listen through all the songs in one playlist. Continuously changing songs can use up iPod battery life. I'm not quite sure how to explain it, but I've heard a lot of times that the iPod has to do something, sort of like spinning the hard disk so that it is full. I know i read this somewhere. Google it. Keep the backlight OFF if possible. It drains battery extremely fast. ------------------------------------- yeah i might have left some stuff out...tell me if i did i guess |
