iPod battery life is an important consideration to most iPod users. Once an iPod battery wears out, it is not easily replaceable by users. Although it can be recharged more than 300 times, the lithium based battery does eventually wear out.

Furthermore, because of the way Apple designed the iPod battery, it is tricky for owners of the iPod Nano 8GB to replace it on their own. Did Apple actually create the iPod Nano 8GB to be a disposable digital audio player? No. Users expect the iPod Nano 8GB to last a long time.

The lifespan of the iPod battery is just a couple of years, as it is lithium based. This nets the user hundreds of charges; however, at some point, the lithium battery will stop working. Users who think they can simply open the iPod Nano 8GB case and take off and change the battery will be disappointed.

This is because the iPod battery is soldered into the iPod Nano 8GB case. The situation this dilemma created caused untold frustration to iPod Nano 8GB users, who were quickly offered an alternative by 3rd party manufacturers who agreed to either change the iPod battery or sell users a do it yourself kit. Owners of the iPod Nano 8GB may opt to send their device to Apple for iPod battery replacement.

Tips to lengthen the life of your iPod battery: Keep your iPod Nano 8GB at room temperature An iPod battery works at its best when the iPod Nano 8GB is at room temperature, between 0 to 35 C (or 32 to 95 F).

Don't leave your iPod Nano 8GB inside a car. Never expose your iPod Nano 8GB to direct sunlight as this can damage the iPod. When unattended, Press the Pause. When leaving the room, press the hold button to pause your iPod Nano 8GB.

Your iPod will continue to play if the hold button is not engaged. Make it a habit to turn off your iPod Nano 8GB when you're not using it to conserve battery power. Only use the back lighting feature when you really need it.

Constantly using back lighting will drain your battery faster than anything. Turn off back lighting unless using it is absolutely needed. Under the Settings menu, choose Back light Timer, then select Off. Most people don't realize that even when their iPod Nano isn't in use, the battery is still working.

A small amount of battery power is still being used, even when your iPod is asleep. By ensuring your iPod is used and stored at room temperature, you can significantly limit the amount of battery current being used. By doing this, the battery in your iPod can last as long as 28 days.
