A Quick Guide to iPod Battery for Your iPod Nano 8GB

iPod battery life is essential for many users. The iPod battery degrades over 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 people that own the device would rather not attempt to switch the battery on their own. Does that mean that the iPod Nano 8GB was designed to be a disposable device? No. Apple designed the iPod Nano 8GB to last a long time.

However, most lithium batteries, such as the iPod battery, last about two years. As expected, after a few hundred charges, a lithium battery wears out. Users who think they can simply open the iPod Nano 8GB case and remove and replace the battery will be disappointed.

Instead of being easily removed, the battery in the iPod Nano 8GB is a permanent part of the 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 change the battery in the iPod Nano 8GB. Apple also offers to replace the iPod battery, but users have to send their iPod Nano 8GB to the company for replacement.

In addition, Apple offers users tips on their website on how to conserve their iPod battery. The following tips and tricks will ensure your iPod battery will last longer: 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. You should never expose your iPod Nano 8GB to direct sunlight. When unattended, click the Pause. 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 pressed. This can significantly impact the life of your iPod battery. Only use the back lighting feature when you really need it.

This feature uses up much of the reserved battery power. If you don’t absolutely need it, turn it off. Under the Settings menu, choose Back light Timer, then select Off. You should be aware that even when you’re not using your iPod Nano 8GB, the battery is still running.

A small amount of battery power is still being used, even when your iPod is asleep. By ensuring your iPod is used and stored 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.
