Why not just try to reset it?1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off.2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

Jim, your comment "before 24 hours of use is up," is accurate. My battery went over and I have been unable to awaken the device at all. The battery does not recharge. Period. So, if you are likely - like me - to forget to recharge it every now and then, you will be out of luck.Jorge

This speaker has a built-in rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery built in. 2500 MaH, which lasts between 10 and 16 hours, depending on the volume that you play the music at. If using it at moderate volumes, our tests have lasted over 16 hours. If at maximum volume, it lasts about 10 hours. This speaker also has a built in power bank. You can actually use the built-in battery to charge other devices that can be plugged in using the USB port on this device. There are 2 ports- one Micro USB port that is used to charge the speaker. One full size USB port that you can use to charge another device. Obviously that will affect the battery duration- if being used to charge another device while listening to music. The speaker does come with a Micro USB cable, but it doesn't have a USB wall charger included. You can use any Micro USB phone charger or any USB charger to charge the device in only 1 to 2 hours. You can also plug the included cable into a computer's USB port. Most people already have either Micro USB or USB chargers that came with their Android or iPhone devices, so the same charger can normally be used as long as it either has a Micro USB or USB port. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Yes, the battery is rechargeable, and lasts from 5-12 hours depending on if you're listening to the radio (uses more power) or with sdhc card/usb drive (uses less power). You can also plug USB cord into an adapter (I use one from an old cell phone).

My ipod froze once. I went to the ipod website and tried all the listed cures and none seemed to work. After a day, the battery drained, I recharged it and it has worked fine since. I use the ipod in an ihome alarm clock with remote so that may have caused some problems but like I said, it only froze up once and has worked well daily since.

I'll try that recommendation. I usually get about 4-6 hours of playing time (afterall my iPod IS 6+ months old), but that's with tinkering around with settings, pictures, playlists, AND having the backlight on "10 seconds". I'm switching it lower and I'll see what I get.But, the older the iPod gets, the lower battery life it'll get, everyone should know that. It's a lithium-ion battery that has about 500 charges in it, and with each charge it lessens the battery life, it's inevitable, but worth it.

Note: I don't have any iPod devices so I can't be 100% sure... however, this device should be able to charge any device that you accepts micro-USB input for charging... or any device that uses a USB plug to connect to a charger. I hope that's helpful and not too confusing =). The cord supplied with the device (about 6" long) is USB on one side, and micro-USB on the other side. You plug the USB side into the battery pack (this port only used to connect devices that need to be charged - i.e. output only) and micro-USB side into the device you want to charge. You may reverse the cord and plug the USB side into your computer USB port, or a wall charger with a USB port and the micro-USB side into the micro-USB port on the battery pack (this port is only used to charge the battery pack - i.e. input only) when you need to recharge the battery pack (you can also plug just about any wall charger with a micro-USB connector on it directly to the battery pack for charging if you prefer).

It has an internal battery, it needs to charge, you don't replace the battery. It is like an iPod. I hope I helped

No you do not need batteries, it comes with a micro USB cord that will plug into any charger or computer. Once it is charged, I usually get about 4 full iphone charges out of it before it needs to be recharged again.

You simply connect the portable battery to an outlet on the wall or any other power source and let it charge up and get full of charge. After a while, you connect your iphone, iPod, etc. to it and that electronic takes the battery stored inside the portable battery. You simply charge it up, and then charge your electronics using that energy.

It has a rechargeable battery that works for about 4 hours with an iPOD. It does not charge the iPOD at the same time and no, you can't playback while charging, but I have 2 of them and charge one up while using the other one with my iPOD and hearing aids which are bluetooth as well.

Yes. This player has a built-in, rechargeable battery that can last a good 20 hours before recharging it using a computer or USB cell phone charger. It may run down faster if you use a lot of the functions, such as moving from track to track.

There is a rechargeable battery. The hookup works with my iPhone adapter. I plug it in for a few hours and have hours of use on the unit with the Bluetooth setting. As far as I can tell there is no way to change out a battery.

This item has an internal rechargeable Lithium battery. It can be powered and charged with an external USB 5V Charger or a USB Connector on a computer. Experience indicates that it will operate about 3 hours on battery before it needs a recharge. One point of concern is that the battery may not be replaceable. However, we have one that provides Music for our birds that has been working over 2 years now. If it dies tomorrow we got our money's worth from the little cube.

I get less than 2 hours of use on a full charge (mainly using for internet browsing, email, and playing mp3). The battery also drains when it's not on. I have the 16 GB linux version with advanced desktop enabled. This seems to be common. I think most manufacturers exaggerate battery life a lot, if it's not a flat-out lie. So 2 hours or less of use unplugged with this device is probably the norm, if the manufacturer is saying 3 to 4 hours. My experience with most rechargeable mobile devices is that normal real world use will not get anywhere near what manufacturers state for battery life.

Hello! As for the iPod nano, not sure about that. I've only used it with my iPhone and have used it for hours straight. It comes with 2 cables. The one with the volume control and microphone is about 4 ft long, while the other cable is 6 ft long. Plus, the cables are braided and one end has a 45 degree connector, which I find awesome to relieve stress off the cable where it plugs into your player. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure why you would need to change the battery. You plug it in and charge it like a cell phone, iPod, or iPad. It has a USB cord for charging and you can plug that into the computer or wall if you have an adapter.

No batteries come with it. To charge, attached via USB and let it sit attached to your computer (make sure computer is on). In about an hour, it will be charged. I don't know this part for sure, but I am pretty confident there is no way to replace battery - you may as well replace the pen. Esp when considering cost. It is a great item overall - I love mine!
