Apple iPod Battery Care Tips

by georgelcb

The realm of digital music players has a verifiable leader: the
Apple iPod. This little device is in many homes, backpacks, and
pockets across the nation. The name iPod is synonymous with music
and video. But sometimes the battery life of iPod doesn't exactly
keep pace with a user's appetite for entertainment. That being
said, here are some things you can do to prolong the runtime of
your iPod battery and keep your tunes playing without
interruptions.

Put it to sleep

Perhaps the easiest thing you can do to keep your iPod
battery from running low too quickly is to put it to sleep while
you aren't using this. This can be done by holding the play/pause
button until the screen turns off. This will save the battery,
but leaving an iPod in sleep mode for several days or more will
still result in battery loss. It is a good idea to charge the
iPod every now and then even when it isn't used much.

Don't Skip

For those of you who are never content with the current
song or video and want to see what's coming next, try to refrain
from too much skipping. The iPod is designed to play continuously
for long periods of time, but skipping songs will quickly drain
battery life. Also, when the iPod is in shuffle mode, the battery
will drain quicker.

Watch Movies on a TV

One of the most attractive things about the new 5th
Generation and 5.5 Generation iPods is their ability to play
videos. iTunes even offers movie and TV show downloads for these
devices. However, while watching video on the go seems appealing,
it may be about the only thing you get to do with your iPod for
the day. Video playback drains the iPod battery quicker than
anything. If you have a short video to watch while riding to work
or on an airplane, go right ahead. But, if you need to have a
Lord of the Rings marathon, I suggest you do it at home.

Counter-Clockwise is the Way to Go

Another attractive aspect of the iPod is the click-wheel, a
small circular controller used by sliding the thumb around it in
either direction to scroll songs, increase volume, etc. For the
battery-optimized iPod, counter clockwise is your friend. In
other words, less is more. Lower settings in screen brightness,
volume, etc. ultimately equal better battery life. Put the screen
brightness at the lowest comfortable level. Keep the volume at a
low point that is still easily heard. Doing these things will add
precious minutes to your playback time.

Following these simple steps will help ensure you have the
battery life you need when you're out on the go and can't be
without you music. Considering the fact that the iPod is reaching
incredible memory capacities, it is essential that your battery
can keep up with your music collection and listening habits.
