iPod battery life is an issue to most iPod users. The iPod battery degrades over a period of time and is not easily changed by the users. That's true, to a point, as the battery is lithium based; although it can be recharged up to 500 times, it does degrade over a period of time.
When that happens, although it is possible for users to replace the iPod battery themselves, many people do not want to risk damaging their iPod Nano 8GB. This caused some users to wonder if the iPod Nano 8GB was intended as a expendable MP3 player? No. The iPod Nano 8GB was designed to last a good, long, while.
As with all lithium based batteries, the iPod battery will not usually last more than two years. As expected, after a few hundred charges, a lithium battery wears out. Users who think they can simply open the iPod Nano 8GB case and remove and replace the battery will be disappointed.
When Apple designed the iPod Nano 8GB, they incorporated the battery into the devices circuitry. This created a wide open marketplace for third party manufacturers to offer an iPod battery replacement kit, including step by step instructions on how to remove and replace the battery in the iPod Nano 8GB. Owners of the iPod Nano 8GB may opt to ship their device to Apple for iPod battery replacement.
In addition, Apple offers users tips on their website on how to maintain their iPod battery. Want to make your iPod battery last longer? Read on: An iPod battery functions at its best when the iPod Nano 8GB is at room temperature, between 0 to 35 C (or 32 to 95 F).
