How To Prolong iPod Battery Life article by Ricky Lim...
|
...The Apple iPod is the most popular portable MP3 player today. Like many users, I have been thinking of ways to prolong the battery life of my recently purchased iPod video.
Here are 5 tips that will help prolong your iPod battery life.
Before I start, it is important to update your iPod firmware to the latest version -- opens in new window.
For example the iPod firmware version 1.2 provides better power management features for your iPod battery.
1. Backlight Settings
You can set the iPod backlight timer setting to minimum to prolong your iPod battery life. I have set mine to 3 seconds. That means when there is no activity for 3 seconds, the iPod will turn off the backlight automatically. You can even switch it to off if you are using the iPod in bright areas.
2. Brightness Settings
For Apple iPod firmware version 1.2 and above, you should be able to access the brightness control. You can go to the iPod Menu, then select Settings and lastly Brightness. By reducing the brightness, it can help prolong iPod battery life.
Unless you are watching videos on your iPod, I usually reduce the brightness to about 40 percent when listening to music.
3. Charging Your Apple iPod Battery
Try to avoid frequent full discharges because this can cause strain on your iPod battery. There is no harm in charging a battery even if it's not totally drained.
4. Keep Your iPod Battery Cool
Heat is the most common reason for the short life span of iPod battery. To prolong iPod battery life... avoid putting your iPod in the sun for long periods of time.
Always remember to put your iPod in sleep mode when you are not using it. This helps to save battery life.
5. Avoid Frequent Changing of Tracks
Since the iPod uses the same type of technology to store data as your computer, frequent changing of tracks means the iPod has to continuously access the internal iPod hard disk. In this case, the hard disk has to be continuously spinning and can reduce battery life.
By implementing these 5 tips, you can help to prolong the lifespan of your Apple iPod battery.

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
