Nano 16GB Battery Life: Approximately how long is the battery life for this new Ipod?
148292
it doesnt matter 8gb or 16gb they have the same battery life, its battery life is like 4-7 hours depending on how you use it... Its battery life isnt even close to what apple claim it to be.

I just got the 16GB for Christmas. After reading all the battery posts, the first thing I did was charge it fully, then play it until the battery died. I got 20+ hours. I think a lot has to do with how often the screen is "lit". If you're constantly shuffling through, picking songs, adjusting volume etc. i think one would get less life than just playing it like I did (the screen was black most of the time since I wasn't adjusting anything). And of course, i would expect video or games to kill the battery even quicker. That would be a good test, play a video straight through and see the life. I don't have any videos loaded, so I can't really test that.

Where did you hear that? Of course not. I use mine daily and it usually lasts for 2-3 days based on my reading, web surfing and emailing activity. I let the battery completely run down after I first charged it and it lasted almost 11 hours. On average I get at least 10 hours of active use on it, but I usually charge it every three days.

So far I have listened to music solid for about a two hour drive one way and then again for 2 hours back. The battery life didn't seem to decrease at all. Maybe went down 20-30%.I have so far gone a few days straight without charging and taking small trips each day listening to music the whole time. It's definitely good enough to use for a day and not charge and still have enough juice for another ride or two. My buddy wore his battery out after maybe 4-5 days of not charging. Definitely good enough given you're usually home in time to recharge. This model supports charging while using it on your bike. I got a battery hookup USB charger but honestly haven't even had to use that yet. So far I have listened to music solid for about a two hour drive one way and then again for 2 hours back.

Thats usually the sign. also, 80Gb iPods haven't been made in 7 years, so the battery is way past its expected life.

Hi Savanna - Again, thanks for your question! our Shuffles, they are 2 GB -enough memory power for about 15 hours of music. We would love to be able to offer our customers more storage capacity, but Apple does not currently make an iPod Shuffle music player with more than 2 GB storage capacity. Best regards, and happy swimming.. Ivan at Swim Audio

I absolutely agree with the OP.This is the most advanced MP3 player on the planet, and to ship it with 16GB Flash instead of an 80 or 160GB microdrive, like the classic has, was stupid IMHO.It would have also been considerably cheaper with a 160GB drive instead of 16GB of Flash.I have a 2nd Gen iPod and a 1st gen 4GB Nano, both still in perfect condition. The Touch was to be my next purchase, but now I'm just not so sure any more.To be totally honest, the 160GB iPod Classic is a FAR better buy. It's cheaper, has 10 times the storage, has the same new interface and OS, and lasts 40 hours per charge.Apple has made my decision WAY too hard.

The battery on mine can last for about 2 hours with Wi-Fi turned on. There are three different USB slots (one on the side, two in the back).

I've used my Sansa for an 8 hour work day turning it off to respond to an occasional phone call, or interruption then turning it back on to resume the music. I've never run the battery down completely and have never had less than 1/3 the battery indicator after listening almost continuously for 8 hours. If I were to guess, I would say the Battery will probably last 12 to 16 hours of continuous use.

Im not sure what the battery life is supposed to be, but mine lasted easily 2 months on a single charge with an average of 1-2 hrs of use every day. They provide you with a charging cable for it, which you can charge from a usb port on your comp. The only annoying part is having it die when you're in the middle of using it, as the cable is not very long (1-2 feet, or something) and it makes it awkward to hold. But if you remember to charge it once a month or so, depending on how much you use it, you shouldn't run into that problem. As for replacements if the pen shits the bed altogether, it looks like they're sold for 10-15 USD Im not sure what the battery life is supposed to be, but mine lasted easily 2 months on a single charge with an average of 1-2 hrs of use every day.

I have the Nano but I dont use it for a radio connection in my car or outside of my car. The battery without being plugged in to a vehicle lasts for around 6-8 hours depending on how much the battery has been used before you purchased it.

Thanks for the reply! I also frequent notebookreview.com....I received my UL30A-A2 today, though, and will put it through the battery test hoops over the next couple of days. Even if it is not the advertised 16 hours 12 hours is still absolutely excellent imo!

My Ipod, is a Nano, so not so new, but I use it every day and have recently downloaded new tunes from itunes. It works great!

I would not say that, but it did return the GB to its original battery life. I can use mine for a few days now without having to charge it, probably playing 4-5 hours a day. Absolutely worth picking up.

Ipod touch 5th generation, 16 gb you can find out by just going to Google and search the model number.

Battery life is rated for the same as the new unit - approximately 8-10 hours of heavy usage. It will last over a week if used only intermittently. These units are essentially new. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/certified-preowned-nook-help/379003688/

I'm not sure. I keep it plugged in. Sorry I can't be much help regarding the battery life.
