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.

ya, I immediately noticed the weaker battery life in this model. That, and the lack of supporting docking charges are my main complaints/concerns. I understand that the accelerometer is probably using more battery life but COME ONE why does this thing drop down to half life within 4 hrs of use?? And it wouldn't be so bad If I could use my car charger with it, but nope, no compatibility. I'm not sure if this is something that can be corrected with firmware updates but Apple should really get on this.

Depends on the kind of user you are. I use my phone a lot less now so it last me all day easy. so i dont think i can give you an exact duration on the battery. its noticably better than my old one but its doesnt blow it away. The only thing i can give you to may be gauge yer purchase, My old batter after about 4 hours of use on pandora it would burn up to 45% of my battery life. On the new battery it eats up about 10-15 % of its life. I dont know if my old battery was just crap or wut. I dont play games or surf tha net all that much anymore so i cant really help you there.

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

It depends on what you are using it for. I use it to connect my helmet speakers to my Nano. I do not get 8 hours. I wish I did. but I don't. I do probably get 4 or 5 hours though. We ride from 9:30 til like 6:30 most Sunday afternoons and it does not make the full day. It does have good sound though and I do like the fact that if I push the button it will pause for me. My other Bluetooth does not have any of those features. It lasts longer but it is not as convenient. I would recommend this to a friend. They're cheap enough buy 2 if you need longevity.

Wow thats crazy, my daughter uses hers for 6 to 7 hours straight, on netflix,youtube,games or apps. She doesnt put it down, she does EVERYTHING on it and only has to fully charge it at night before going to bed, that takes a couple hours though, at least 2 but not sure. If yours is only good for 3 hours thats a big problem , thats not even half of how long its supossed to go, usually when a product says the battery lasts a certain amount its usually not even close to that but I was very surprised when ours actually lasted the 7 hours it promised, and Im telling you its on streaming videos and movies for the hole 7 hours and it has never shut down,the lowest it got was 8% and than it took hours to fully charge it again.

My battery life lasts quite a while. I was watching a live stream video and it lasted 4 - 6 hours. On a regular basis, just checking email, surfing the net, etc I only have to charge every two or three days.

Battery life is pretty good... A whole day if your actually using it.. I've left it sitting and it's lasted around 3 weeks without usage on one charge.

If the person who posted before me actually has battery life that poor, he should return his product. I have the 30GB and I tested my battery life, twice. The first time I got 14 hrs, 15 min, and the second I got 13 hrs, 50 min. The battery life is as advertised. If you read reviews for the product on many diff sites, you'll find that often the battery life even exceeds what Apple claims.

I assume you mean the 'charge' life of the battery, which on our Nuvi is a disappointing 1 hour +. This means that you will need to use the 12 volt cord for longer trips. We have owned our Nuvi less that one year and do not know the actual battery life for the new unit. However, our old Nuvi is more than 6 years old and the battery is still good. The old Nuvi has a charge life of approx. 4 hours.

My iPod quit working after 16 months. It just wouldn't turn on one day at the gym. Completely dark even when I try to recharge it. I haven't a clue as to what's going on but it is very annoying since it is a 160GB iPod. I used this 5 days a week. Guess I'll take it in and see what the repair bill will be, but seriously, 16 months is not enough time for something this costly.

The Swimbuds themselves do not carry a charge. The iPod's full battery life should last around 12 hours. -Underwater Audio Customer Service

The battery life has been good for me. I bought the camera right before vacation and took many pictures over the course of a week. I believe I recharged the battery daily but the battery never died. I just wanted a full battery for each day since I was taking so many pictures. However, I've only used the camera sporadically since so I'm not sure how the battery life would be now if I was using it as much as I was when I first bought it.

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 just bought 30 gb video ipod. I get about 6 hours playing music and maybe 2 hours with video.I was told thats normal. I use it work and all the usb port are disabled here. After reading these posts, looks like instead of buying a AC charger I should just replace it with another one. Still with in return policey time.

Hey Pat,as a nano + zune user, I guess I can definitely answer to your question here..I have used both players so far and both of them have averagely similar battery life..I feel like my Zune uses a little more battery though but that must be due to wireless syncing..Thing about Zune, I charged it one day, and then left it on my desk for a week with the hold button locked, and after a week, the battery didnt get used up even a little..If you will have access to your laptop/PC in the next 24 hours, then you can be assured your player will run fine with you :)

Now I'm really confused. I bought this for my trip as well, not noticing that it "doesn't work" on the Ipod touch 3G. I have the 64 gb 3rd generation IPOD Touch. It is working quite well. I'll keep trying it over the next week and report back if it stops working. Now I'm worried that it will die on me during my trip.

I've had it for about two years now, and the battery life on it is about two hours, give or take. It's definitely better than the one I replaced, though. I'm still a little disappointed that I have to practically keep my laptop plugged in just to be able to use it for longer periods. Hope this helps!
