Apple iPod Essentials   Tracking the Pulse of iPod

Here are a couple of tips on how to keep your iPod battery strong.
1. Use your iPod regularly (As if we wouldn't!!!) But in case you don't, make sure it gets one full charge each month.

2. Make sure you are current with your iPod updates, those geniuses over at Apple are always coming up with new and improved ways to optimize performance, including finding efficient new ways of preserving your battery life!!

3. USE THE HOLD BUTTON WHEN YOU TURN YOUR iPod OFF!!!!!

4. Make playlists that you want to listen to rather than skipping through songs. When you fast-forward a lot your iPod fills its cache quicker, causing your battery to lose more power.

5. Don't expose your iPod, or its battery to extreme temperatures. It is happy between 32°F and 90°F (2C° - 32°C). So if you forget it in the car on a hot summer day or a cold winter night you risk damaging your battery, which is upwards of $105 to replace through Apple
