The iPod's battery is a fragile little piece of equipment it seems. If you want your iPod's battery to last longer and live longer, here is a couple of tips. Some will probably seem pretty evident. But just because they are, doesn't me they aren't useful.
First of all. It is important to keep the battery at room temperature. Too hot or too cold will brim it's optimum performance, which according to Apple's docs is around 20 degrees Celsius. Wait until the iPod is at this temperature before using it.
Battery Tool
There is a great functionality on the iPod that will also help with it's battery. The hold mechanism. Why you ask? Well, when you aren't using your iPod, and have it in your pocket, you might accidentally press the play button or any other, hence starting a tune up and devouring some battery livelihood. So when you aren't using your iPod, put that sucker on hold!
You should also charge your iPod once it is flat. This will ensure a better and longer life for your iPod. Remember that it uses some batteries even in sleep mode, so when you aren't using it, it is possible the battery will go flat. In any case, wait until this happens before charging.
When you don't use your iPod, put it in sleep mode. To do this, press the play button for a couple of seconds, it will look like it is turned off. Also use the pause button as much as possible when listening to music, but need to stop listening for some reason or another. The pause button will evidently stop the useless playing and there for the useless use of batteries.
The backlighting option. I personally don't use the backlighting, unless it is truly necessary like at night. I just flip the option on at that moment. The rest of the time, is is off. Lights use batteries so they will last less time if the backlight option is on. The same thing can apply for the equalizer. I don't use this option, as I am not a professional of sound, I can't even tell the difference with it on or off. It being off, will use much less battery life.
Changing tracks with the previous and next buttons, can also make your battery life shorter. This is because every time the iPod changes tracks, it must open the hard drive, which uses battery life evidently.
All in all, these are the tips I have received and tested that seem to keep my iPod on for much longer.
Enjoy and have fun!
