Understanding the iPod Battery : Tips & Pointers for New iPod Owners

"Hi! My name is Eric. I’m here on behalf of Expert Village today to talk to you about iPod and their batteries. One of the things that’s interesting about your iPod is that of course just like anything else with a battery inside, it eventually has to go and be recharged. Now, this iPod photo that I have here in my hands, has a 15 hour battery life. One of the things that as you can see in the upper left hand corner of the iPod, it actually has a red actual bar on the actual battery in this case. This indicates that the iPod is almost coming near to the end of it’s battery life, but there’s a couple different things that can be done to help you actually and save your iPod’s battery. One of which would be simply plugging it in everyday. One of the things not known to most people is that the iPod has a side of liquid filled lithium ion battery. These batteries are good due to the fact that they have no memory and they’re able to be recharged constantly. The iPod will never go through a situation where it will ever overcharge or undercharged in this case, because once it’s receives it’s final stage of charging, it’ll trickle down, burn off some, and then retrickle down again. It’s not a worry to do through and plug it into your computer at work and then take it to your car and plug it in there as well; it’s not an issue. One of the things that you may also want to note about an iPod is one of the most basic things here; it’s to simply turn the unit off when it’s not in use. Once the unit is off, simply just turn the whole switch so that it’s red so the buttons don’t respond to it when it’s put into your pocket and put it to it’s case or something else along this nature. It literally takes 3 seconds and it’ll save you hours and hours and hours of battery life in the future. On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Eric. Thank you for watching and have a good day."
