ipod Nano battery life?
Permalink Closed

Can anyone comment on the actual battery life of the 4 or 8 gig models?  My ipod is pretty old and gets maybe three hours before I need to charge it again.  I was thinking of replacing it with a nano.  TIA!

here is a chart that details the battery time for each ipod model.


also the batteries do degrade:


Q: Will the iPod's battery degrade over time?

A: Yes. Over time, the battery will not hold the same amount of charge as when it was new. This is natural, and is true of all lithium ion batteries. This slow degradation will not affect, or be noticed by, most users during the life of their iPod. However, based on usage, environmental factors, and many other variables, some heavy users may notice a greater degradation than others. It is important to understand that this is the exact same degradation that would occur with any lithium ion battery used in any laptop, cell phone, portable music player, etc., and is not unique to the iPod. For more information, see this page.
