We recommend that you fully charge and discharge your battery at least three to four times before achieving maximum performance. Factors that can influence battery playtime include (but are not limited to) backlight use, volume level, navigation frequency, and even the quality of your audio files (as larger files require the player to read the hard drive more frequently) Another tip: After charging your battery and getting the ‘Charged’ symbol, disconnect your iPod from its power source for a minute and reconnect to give it an extra boost of power. If your IPOD battery is still not lasting as long as advertised, please contact us with a detailed description of your issue and your order number. Please note that a 3rd Generation IPOD will not charge through your USB port, only via FireWire. The issue stems from the USB cable itself, since a third generation IPOD requires a 12v charge, and the USB cable can only carry a 5v charge.
