WHY DOES THIS BATTERY DIE SO QUICKLY?! iPod Battery Issue My Apple Ipod Nano has a HUGE battery problem! I just got it like a week ago and the battery dies after 20 min. No matter how long I had charged it before using it. PLEASE HELP! -reply by Jessica
Hi, nothing to worry about from what I've heard
 .This is simply like that issue where several xbox's had problems sometimes. All you have to do is clal the manufacturer and then they'll tell you what to do from there. I do believe you're supposed to send it in and have them repalce the battery though. My friend had the same problem, and so that is what I'm basing my knowledge on. You might have to bring it to the retail store where you bought it instead though. My memory=Fuzzy
Try to recharge the battery only when it's whole empty and charge it whole full. Especially the first 5 times or something, this is really important for the lifetime of the battery.
I did a quick search and found something very worth your time to read.
Apple knows they had a problem with the older iPods and there is a way to get help. For information, go to iPod Battery Settlement Explained This wil bottom line what Apple is offering and which models are covered. It is a very good overall site for all the information you might need. If your iPod is one of those mentioned, go to Apple iPod Settlement Page where you can download the proper form to return your iPod as well as get additional information. I hope you're covered under this. Let us know.
This is what the Ipod settlement means. Many people who bought old ipods have found that the battery power dies within a couple years use, or around a couple hundred charges. You can mail your ipod in with an application and receive a free ipod battery replacement for free. You can also choose 50 dollars in apple store, or a check for 25 dollars. Personally, i will buy a battery and replace it myself (battery costs 30 dollars), and get 50 dollars for the apple store, so i end up gaining 20 dollars
 Note- this applies for 3rd generation ipods only
I had a third geneation normal iPod, all you have to do is go on apples webpage, find the part about support and repairs...then just follow the instructions.
Because i got one of the first 3rd gens, when i sent it back a few weeks ago they had to send me a new one because they don't have any 3rd gen batteries left... Thanx 2 yr warrenties
I had a problem like this and I did just what everyone here said to do. I spoke with customer service and I got a free replacement battery. No questions asked.
you should get a car adaptor.....

From what I've heard, laptop batteries have about the same problem too. (Although most companies will not replace your battery for free like Apple do). My dad's ancient Acer laptop has 2 batteries. He often uses only one but when the first one runs out he will switch then recharge the second one for next time. But what he usually does when he keeps the laptop at home is that he leaves the battery in the laptop while it is FULLY charged but he just leaves it running. This is a major no-no if your computer isn't from Apple. Windows-build computers have a major problem with their batteries. After a while of doing that it will slowly get worse and worse. Of course Apple computers have the same problem but its designed for longer battery operation so...there you go..
My IPod does this from time to time as well. It is really strange. I have a newer one, I bought it about 4 months ago. At times, my battery will be full and then die really quick. Then, other times, it takes approximately two days for it to die. I am quite confused about that.

No matter what, every electrical appliance with a rechargable battery begins to die after about a year of use. It can't be helped, just, prolonged. Like what Moody said earlier, only charge it once the battery has ran out, and then charge it until it's full, or else you could find yourself with a completely dead, unusable battery in a matter of months.
Personally, I think iPods are junk. I own a 4th gen mini and the screen has quickly burned out in the corners after about a year. The click wheel is often very unresponsive, even though I've been very tender with it for all of its life. The battery life is a joke, and the fact that it's filing system is proprietary to iTunes completely irritates me. I think apple should focus on their excellent pcs and leave the mobile music industry to companies like Creative and Sony.
Apple has definitely helped the industry a lot with their serious competition and innovative ideas, hence the further development of our current technology with portable audio/video devices. However, there are much better products for your buck than the iPod. Check out the iAudio X5. It has many more features than the new video iPods and, personally, does not pose nearly as close a resemblence of commercial monopoly as Apple.

I have no idea why it does that but I have to charge it like very second/third day becuase the battery ran out.

You say that he left the battery in the laptop while its fully charged and the computer running? I don't see anything wrong with that. Unless I'm missing something, which I'm sure I am since I don't understand what you're getting at...
