Tips to get the most out of your iPod Battery
One of the most common complaints about iPod is its battery life. According to Apple there are a few things that you can do to get the most out of your battery:
- The iPod's battery works best when it's at room temperature, generally near 20° C, but you can use your iPod anywhere between 0° to 35° C (about 32° to 95° F). If you have left your iPod in the cold, give it time to warm up to room temperature before using it. Otherwise, a low-battery icon may appear and the iPod will not wake from sleep. Also, you do not want to expose your iPod to extreme temperatures by leaving it in your car or exposing it to direct sun light.
- Discharge the battery completely before recharging your iPod.
- Back lighting and the equalizer use a lot of power so turn both off if you do not need to use them.
- The iPod's cache works best with average file sizes less than 9MB, so using smaller files and or compressing your files to smaller size files can also help extend your battery life.
