Everyone wants to keep their iPod pumping out some great tunes, but eventually it'll run out of power.
There are some simple and effective tricks you can use to increase the battery length of your iPod by almost half.
Most are common sense, but some you might have not thought of before.
- Back light Turning off the back light can save a massive amount of power.
It is defaulted to on, so every time you touch the scroll wheel, the light comes on.
Turn it off to see a big difference in battery life! - Volume Yes, everyone likes to have their music loud, but it actually makes the battery go down quicker.
If you're on a long trip, keep the volume just over half way.
That way you'll be able to squeeze in that extra album or favourite song.
- Full Charge Charging the iPod fully before use with an iPod mains charger will make a big difference.
Pumping as much power into the battery as possible will make it hold more as electrical reactions inside take place.
The longer you leave it hooked up to the iPod mains charger the better, even when the fully charged sign comes up! - Clicker Even though the clicker uses a small amount of power, it can add up to a lot over a longer period of time.
Turn it off and you'll find that you have more power than before, and the people sat next to you won't be annoyed any more whenever you change tracks.
