Q: What is an iPod charge cycle?
A: 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.
Q: What kind of battery is used?
A: Your iPod uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Lithium ion batteries pack in a higher power density
and gives you a longer battery life. Lithium-ion batteries also uses a fast charge to charge your iPod to 80 per
cent capacity and switches back to trickle charging. This is roughly about 2 hours of charge time to power your
iPod to 80 per cent capacity, then another 2 hours to fully charge it -- as long as you're not using your iPod while it's charging.

You are a genius, I thought I had downloaded iTunes 7... I didn't have to reset, everything came up as was
on it when it crashed.
I cannot thank you enough for not giving up, this one had sentimental value that you cannot believe and they
do not make the black nanos anymore.
I tried everything on the internet, and you are the only one that replied and kept at it until you solved the
problem.
Thank you.

Wow Daniel! What a fantastic service. I really didn't expect such a prompt response, if at all. And
thanks for your advice. I certainly will be downloading from the sites you have listed. We are bathing in
summer heat here, whilst I guess you are sheltering from the approaching winter. As a student it is not
unusual to work through the night and I must say, how fantastic it is to have music all night. And such excellent
quality sound too. So thrilled to have iPod up and running!
Thanks again.
Ciao
