Need information on the battery

Hello. Before i get an electronic like the iPod Touch, i try to gather as much information as i possibly can so i can have everything ready and all of the knoweledge about it so i dont screw it up and so i can use it correctly, im trying not to sound geeky when saying this . I have had terrible luck with batteries in the past. So, i need to know all about the iPod Touch 8GB battery. Here are a few questions i have
1.When i first get it what should i do, like fully charge it and wait or what?
2.I'm told Li-ion batteries need special treatment. Do you drain the battery at least once a month or something? I'm told you should do something to the battery at least once a month, but i'm not to sure what though.
3. Kindve going with the second question, is it bad if Li-ion batteries completely drain, should i try to never let it die on me?
So, theres all of my questions, thank you very much!

1.When i first get it what should i do, like fully charge it and wait or what?
I'd fully charge it.
2.I'm told Li-ion batteries need special treatment. Do you drain the battery at least once a month or something? I'm told you should do something to the battery at least once a month, but i'm not to sure what though.
Read the "Simple Guidelines" (about 3/4 of the way down the page) on this web site:

3. Kindve going with the second question, is it bad if Li-ion batteries completely drain, should i try to never let it die on me?
The same site should answer that question as well.

  • How do i know if I need to replace the battery in my MacBook Pro?

    How do i know if I need to replace the battery in my MacBook Pro?

    There are a few ways (none of which are covered in the above link). On more recent OS X versions, when you click the battery icon in the menu bar you may see a "Service Battery" or "Replace Now" message. If you aren't seeing that, the system probably thinks the battery is fine.
    Also, in your System Information utility, there is a Power section that provides Health information for the battery, with a Condition status and Cycle Count. If the Condition is Normal and your battery is under 300 cycles (for removable batteries) or 1000 cycles (for non-removable batteries) it is not time to replace it yet.
    But of course, the other time to replace it is if you don't think you're getting the runtime you want out of it.
    If none of those is a problem, don't worry about it.

  • Hello. So I have used my iPod touch 4g for 2 years now and need to change the battery. My question is: will I lose everything I have on my iPod like my music,pictures and apps if I change the battery on my iPod touch 4g?

    Thanks for answer

    If you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery.  Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up.  If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).

  • My iphone 4s is over 2 years old and I need to replace the battery. How much will this cost at an Apple store?

    I have an iphone 4s that is  over 2 years old. The phone's battery is no longer able to hold a  charge for an acceptable length of time.  Assuming I need to replace the battery, how much will this cost at an Apple store?

    Basically, I'm new to Apple, despite using them before, but I've never actually owned my own.
    Since buying this phone off a colleague at work, I seem to be having problems with it. First, I noticed how rubbish the battery life is, then my charger almost went up in flames and thirdly my camera lense is scratched beyond belief.
    I know the phone isn't within warranty, although I was lead to believe it was before and during buying it, so basically I'm extremely disappointed with the general make up of iPhone's considering they cost such a **** of a lot of money, you'd think they'd be built to last.
    Back to my main point, how much would it cost for a new battery? Or a new camera lense if anyone can help me with that? (I know that the back of the phone was refurbished just before my buying it, so literally just the camera lense)
    Thanks!
    So basically it sounds like you bought an abused used iPhone and somehow that makes the phone subpar because dispite the abuse it should still last forever and look like new? Batteries don't last forever, even under ideal conditions, so your expectatoins are unrealistic. Take it in and have an estimate done.

  • Is it true? Do I need to remove the battery?

    Another post mentions the need to remove the battery when the laptop is on AC power  I hadn't heard this before.  Should I be removing the battery when I have it plugged in?  (Which is most of the time)

    Hi
        When computer is connected to wall outlet it will charge the battery until 100%. Is it harmful to battery if it is kept at 100% charged for     long time.
    This is now becoming an urban myth   Once upon a time it might have some basis in fact however with lithium-ion batteries it doesn't matter.  For a start, they are not constantly charged, as this would cause an explosion, so they charge to full and then the charging stops.
        Some articles state it is best to keep battery at 40-50% when it is not to be used for long time. How to achieve when it is always     attached to the computer?
    That's only required for long term storage when the battery isn't being used to help prevent it aging.
    Lithium-ion batteries whether being used or not slowly degrade from the very first day they leave the factory, you might as well have it in the laptop even if you use the mains 99% of the time to get some benefit of an un-interruptible power supply rather than leave it in the box where it will age anyway.

  • Do I need to "condition" the battery in a new MacBook?

    Please forgive my ignorance, but do I need to "condition" the battery in a brand new MacBook that I just bought? i.e. Do I need to charge it fully, unplug it, and let it run down completely before charging it again? Or is that only for the older batteries?

    Thanks, Jay. About an hour ago I opened it, turned it on, and started downloading and installing system updates. It's been plugged in this entire time. Should I have just turned it on and plugged it in to charge without using it? The article isn't entirely clear on that. Or can I keep setting it up and using it as long as it's plugged in until the light on the power cord turns green (before unplugging it and allowing the battery to run down)?

  • Need information regarding the warranty period of my curve 9360

    I was having battery backup issues with my device so I took it to the Blackberry service center. service center people have inspected it and have found that battery is faulty but they have refused to change the battery stating that my device is out of warranty period as its over a year when I purchased my mobile phone and warranty period is for one year only. Although it is clearly mentioned over the Box of my phone that warranty is for 18 months.
    Date of Purchase: 21/09/2012
    Please help. what should i do?

    Hello,
    Warranty is a contractual matter between buyer and seller, determined at the time of the transaction. What it states on the box may or may not be governing...it might be overridden by other contractual documents (which, of course, no one here in this user-to-user community can see). If I were you, I would review all of my contractual documents coupled with knowing my local jurisdictional requirements...some governments require some things, while others do not. With you knowing all of that information, escalate with the service center to assert your rights, whatever those are.
    Good luck!

  • Need information on the new RAR Rule Architect/Rule Set functions

    Does anyone have any information on the new 5.3 functions listed under Rule Architect/Rule Sets, specifically the Compare function?
    My 5.3 Config manual mentions this area but doesn't describe anything about it.  I have a request from our user group and need to determine if this can fit that request.
    What they are looking for is an easy way to compare our RAR Rule Set with the latest SAP version (Q2 2010 is the most recent I believe).  Just from the screen shots, it looks like we could maybe use the Rule Sets functions for that.  Load the new SAP one into RAR as a separate ruleset and then run this Compare function.  However I haven't been able to find any documentation on this function, so I don't know if it really does what we are looking for.
    Thanks.

  • 15" MacBook Pro (mid2010). I need to replace the battery.

    I have inherited my deceased brother's 15" MacBook Pro (mid2010). The battery no longer keeps a charge, so it must stay plugged in.  Can I change the battery myself? If so, must I use an apple battery to replace? Please advise.

    Apple will not sell you one of their batteries for you to install.  They insist on installing it for you. 
    I have seen on Amazon what appear to be OEM graymarket Apple batteries.  If you do choose to purchase one of them, be advised that you will need a #0 Triwing driver to perform the installation.
    ciao.

  • Pro with Retina display- Do I need to calibrate the battery?

    Hello,
    I just bought a mbp with retina display and out of curiosity, I looked up some articles on google about battery crashing. Still jetlagged, I'm having a slight panic attack because my battery only provides 2 hours when watching youtube. (4 bar brightness, wifi, google chrome, all other applications turned off).
    Some people suggested that calibrating the battery would help it last longer but from my battery health stats: my current max is 8706 amh while original max is 8460. If I'm ahead of the original max, does that mean i'm doing fine?
    my computer is 30.9 days old. Although I have only had it for about 10 days and my cycle is at 3.
    What do you guys recommand that I do to maximize batter life?
    Also, when should I recharge my battery? I'm using this computer mainly for youtube and writing papers for school. I never run games on macs either.
    So at what % should I plug in the power adapter?? and do I always charge it to 100%?
    Thank you very much

    I did an initial charge to 100%.  That was my complete calibration.
    Since, I leave it on AC power when at a desk.  It will slowly lose battery down to 95% then recharge back to 100% by itself.
    One a month at least I run it on battery down to 40%, then recharge to 100%.
    NEVER run battery flat if you can help it.  That shortens battery life.
    If that sound like "AC power is fine for extended periods, but do not run it flat", you get the message.
    My 1-year-old MBP can still hold 101% of designed capacity.

  • Do I need to keep the battery in all the time or can I use on mains only

    Hi, Does anyone know if it's ok to leave the battery out and use my mbp with the magsafe power adapter only. I mean will it harm the computer doing this. The reason I ask is I rarely use my mbp away from my desk I don't use it on battery power much and with the battery in I've noticed it's gets hot.
    Thanks in advance

    There is something else to consider. Your processor speed will be reduced and you are much more at risk of losing data should the power go out unexpectedly:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2332?viewlocale=en_US
    Apple's recommendation is that you not run without the battery.

  • Blackberry 9320 shuts off and needs to remove the battery to turni it on.

    My BlackBerry 9320 keeps shutting off even if my battery is half full. Is this unit/device related, battery related, or OS related defect? Thanks.

    Hello jrcalara
    Well.. No one can predict or guess that way unless you  try it yourself some workaround regarding your problem. It may be an hardware / Software / Battery issue but somtime a bad app can also create such issues . So can confirm if recently installed any application before this Problem started ? Think carefully !
    If you have then try to boot your device on Safe Mode , On Safe Mode delete any application which you think might be responsible for this issue , from Options > Device > Application Manegement > locate and delete any newly installed 3rd party application , it might help in resolving your issue :
    KB17877 : How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    If above fails then try a Good fully charged Batttery and test it on your device , it will reveal if the problem is within your device or the battery itself .
    If it's a device issue then you can try an OS reload , which will fix any software glitch .For that you can refer to this Knowledge Base :
    KB03621 : How to Reload BlackBerry Device Software and application using BlackBerry Desktop Software
    If even after an OS reload problem continues then you can consider your device had a hardware issue , for that you have to visit your service provider to get it fixed.
    So, try those thing it will let you know the exact cause.

  • Need information on the art of the possible with Business Catalyst

    Hi
    My wife is setting up an online Business that will sell downloadable language resources (for learning foreign languages). These will include worksheets, soundfiles, and also animations (that are being done by a separate animator).
    I am a 'rusty' Java developer and have said that I would do the IT for her.
    We have purchased an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription as she is doing the worksheets in InDesign, and they will be sold as PDF's.
    I have mocked up the beginnings of a website with Muse, but was intending to use that for getting the look and feel right, then replicating it in Java and HTML5.
    However, today I started looking a Business Catalyst and seeing what it could do, but I am confused about it.
    Would I be able to sell downloadable items using the eCommerce features?
    Can I set up a mock shop on the free BC site?
    How much does the eCommerce upgrade actually cost? Like I said, we are a Creative Cloud subscriber.
    There will be some features that I will need to code, perhaps talking to another database, I understand that you can call out from the app to your own webservices etc?
    Thanks for any help.
    matt

    Hi Matt,
    BC sounds like a good solution for you from the little bit you shared.
    Do you mean javascript or java? Java doesn't run on BC as FYI.
    Here are your answers:
    Would I be able to sell downloadable items using the eCommerce features?
    Yes you can. BC allows you to have media downloads for purchase.
    Can I set up a mock shop on the free BC site?
    Yes, you can start a free trial site that will allow you build and try out BC. Once you are ready to go live with the site you would pay to upgrade the site to a live site.
    How much does the eCommerce upgrade actually cost? Like I said, we are a Creative Cloud subscriber.
    The price is $38.88 per month (USA pricing. AU differs - more info here on pricing: US Monthly Pricing | Adobe Business Catalyst ) with Creative Cloud you have five basic sites with BC but to "upgrade" you pay the regular price for BC sites.
    There will be some features that I will need to code, perhaps talking to another database, I understand that you can call out from the app to your own webservices etc?
    There are APIs that allow you to talk to other services and send information back to BC.
    You can find more answers by reading the KB: BC Help & support
    On a side note, if you need help getting started with Business Catalyst I would happily offer my services. Send me a PM if you need additional help.
