| 439830 | 2006-03-22 06:50:00 | Yea, i've recently bought a second-hand 2gb black iPod nano off a friend of mine, he sold it off, due to an upgrade to a 30Gig iPod video. He claims it has no problems whatsoever, and he only had it since october last year, when they first came out. But I'm having some problems with the battery life of the nano, instead of a supposed playing time of 12-14 hours, the battery life of mine lasts just around 6-8 hours. Around half of the expect life. yeah, i just wanna know what the hell would cause a problem like this.. I charge it to full, through my USB, and after around 20-30mins of music playing, the battery bar goes down, after about five more hours of uninterrupted, continuous playback. the iPod shuts down due to low battery. This is rather unexpected from a trusted iPod manufacturer, Apple computer inc. i'm just a bit paranoid about this issue, as this ipod is not brand new.... but any information on battery lifes for iPod nano, would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Zhen |

| 439831 | 2006-03-22 06:57:00 | Sounds like the battery life control need re-calibrating, i have the size issue with a 4 yrs Rio Riot, however thru a know cause. Apparently the idea is to completely drain the battery period then reset and charge. Maybe you can ROM flash them to upgrade their fireware?, you could check the offical web site, perhaps a forum there would help? Edit:Spelling |
