iPod battery life is an significant consideration to most iPod users. The iPod battery degrades over a period of time and it is not easily replaced. That’s true, to a point, as the battery is lithium based; although it can be recharged up to 500 times, it does degrade over a period of time.

Furthermore, because of the way Apple designed the iPod battery, it is challenging for owners of the iPod Nano 8GB to change it 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.

The lifespan of the iPod battery is just a couple of years, as it is lithium based. As expected, after a few hundred charges, a lithium battery wears out. An iPod battery is not designed for user replacement.

This is because the iPod battery is soldered into the iPod Nano 8GB case. The situation this dilemma created caused untold frustration to iPod Nano 8GB users, who were quickly offered an alternative by 3rd party manufacturers who agreed to either replace the iPod battery or sell users a do it yourself kit. Some users would opt on not to mess with changing the iPod battery and instead, ship their iPod Nano 8GB to Apple for replacement.

Users can also learn how to maximize the iPod battery power by logging on to the Apple website. Tips to lengthen the life of your iPod battery: Keep your iPod Nano 8GB at room temperature An iPod battery performs at its best when the iPod Nano 8GB is at room temperature.

Don’t leave your iPod Nano 8GB inside a car. You should never expose your iPod Nano 8GB to direct sunlight. When not in use, employ the Pause or Hold button. Any time you are not using your iPod Nano 8GB, slide the button into the Hold position.

Back lighting can use up a lot of your reserved battery power. If you don’t absolutely need it, turn it off. Under the Settings menu, choose Back light Timer, then select Off. Even when you are not using your iPod Nano 8GB, the battery power is slowly depleting.

While your iPod Nano 8GB is sleeping, the battery is still fully awake, and loses a small amount of current. While you will not be able to stop the draining of your iPod battery, you can slow it down by storing your iPod at room temperature. By doing this, the battery in your iPod can last as long as 28 days.
