Battery problems iPod

I'm having battery problems. I have not used my iPod for about 18 months now whenever I charge it it seems to take forever to charge and it losses it's charge over a couple of days even when not used. Can the battery memory be reset so it knows when full or empty.

Other users have reported similar problm with the battery indicator after the update. You can try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
or wait for the next iOS update. In the meantime just charge for about 3 to 4 hours to ensure fully charged.

Hello,
I have a problem with my iPod shuffel. Since yesterday nothing works. If i press the battery status button nothing happens. With my external battery pack also nothing happens. My I tunes dosen´t find my shuffle. in my USB Ports nothing happens only if i removed my shuffle the battery light shows red for a few seconds. The battery dosen´t charge. Can someone help me?

It sounds to me that you have a faulty iPod as the battery does not charge or hold charge.
Have you tried to restore the software on the iPod :-

It may be best to return your iPod to Apple for repair under the 1 year warranty, they will give you a replacement.

IPod touch Battery Problems Since iOS 7 was installed last year.

Hello, I've had recurring battery problems with my iPod touch since the iOS 7 update was installed, and I find myself having to charge my iPod touch (5th Generation) a lot more frequently since I installed this update.
On iOS 6, I had never experienced any problems with the iPod touch's battery, as I was able to let the battery drain down completely, and let it charge for 4 hours (recommended). After the iPod touch was fully charged for 4 whole hours, I was able to unplug the lightning cable, and the iPod touch on its own would last a few days to at least a week or two weeks.
On iOS 7, since it saw its general release on the 18th September last year, I have found that the iPod's battery has drained so bad, that it dies too quickly, and when I put the iPod touch on charge, in almost an hour, the iPod touch tells me that it is 100% charged. However, when I take the iPod touch off its charge after it fully charges for that hour, it quickly drains down again.
I have gone through the standard procedure of restoring my iPod touch to its factory settings, and I have seen absolutely no improvement on the battery life whatsoever. I mainly back up whatever is on my iPod touch (I back up pictures, videos and also transfer updates that I have installed for certain apps onto iTunes), though I have seen how some people have backed up the data on their iPod's or iPhones, only they find their iDevice draining so quickly.
Even turning off certain features in the Settings app to improve the battery life doesn't help, as there is almost no difference that solves the problems I'm currently having with the iPod touch's battery.
I recently heard about the free iPhone battery replacement program which is now available, so I'm starting to worry whether I have to pay for a new replacement battery for my iPod touch.
Your help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.
Many kind regards,
Alex Smithson

I mainly charge the iPod touch itself for four hours and it still doesn't make a difference. I've had my iPod touch for almost 2 years and since I installed iOS 7, it still doesn't make a difference.
I was wondering, if the article you have provided doesn't sort the problems with the battery out, is there another alternative??
Your help and advice is most appreciated.
Many kind regards,

Ipod mini battery problem caused by damage to ipod

I have experienced the recent battery problems (not holding charge, etc)and have been advised that, in this instance, they could have been caused by damage to the hold button. Has anyone come across this or know whether this is correct?

Your iPod battery has reached the end of its service life. As your iPod is still under a year old, Apple will replace the battery for you free of charge if you send it off to them.
If you don't want to send the iPod back, you could put up with your 2 hour battery life, or you could replace the battery yourself. You can buy battery kits from a load of online stores (iPod ResQ has a good reputation, but I've never personally used them) and fit them yourself, but this will invalidate your warranty.

IPod Battery Problems.. Send in for a replacement?

My iPod is just over a month and a half old. I use it very often. The battery lately takes about 12 to 14 hours to fully charge. Once I get a full charge into the battery, the battery lasts about 10mins, even though I don't play games or scroll alot.. Is there a battery problem here? should I send it in for a replacement? Also, when I get a replacement iPod.. Is it possible to request that my new ipod be a different colour? (I hate my pink iPod)

welcome!
1) if your ipod is under warranty, then you should send it in for service/replacement
2) as for requesting a different color... I would doubt it, but who knows....

Ipod Battery Problem (No not the usual question)

I have a new 30gb 5g Ipod which is the successor to my 15gb 3g Ipod so Im not new to the whole Ipod thing, but I was wondering if I have a battery problem: (Events leading to problem)
1. I sync the ipod and charge it so its full
2. I listen to it for about an hour meter goes down about half way, which is fine because its only the 3rd charge. BUT.......
3. I "turn it off" by pressing play/pause and switch the hold switch on.
4. 2-3 days later I turn ther hold switch off and my ipod doesnt turn on like the battery id fully depleted, and I have to charge it for 3 or more hours to get it to turn on.
Do I have a problem. If there is a common fix could you please help me. Thanks.

I think this is a 5th generation iPod that would clearly be under warranty.
It really does sound like A faulty battery - it's quite common for the battery meter to dip noticably after an hour of use on a fully charged battery because the meter is not really accurate and reflects the battery charge based on what drain is occuring at the time. What is needed is to fully charge the iPod over 4 hours or so, then set it to play continuously and monitor how long it takes until it switches off. That should give a reasonably clear idea of how well the battery is performing.
It's important to note however that the symptom described is not uncommon with a faulty lithium ion battery.

Solved my iPhone 5 Battery Problems: Maybe it can help you!

Hi every one, I saw many topics regarding battery problems with the iPhone 5. I responded to one discussion describing what I did to solve the iPhone 5 battery dying fast on me. So I thought I'd make a discussion here to help out other users with the same problem.
I would have 25-30% drop with in the hour and all I did was text a couple of my friends. I was using an iPhone 4 for the longest time, and on that phone I was able to watch videos, listen to music and use all the other features of the phone. The battery still lasted me the whole day, I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to use the iPhone 5 the same with out it dying on me fast.
My friend suggested draining the battery and then charging the phone to see if any improvements were seen. I did that and I saw a small change in the battery strength. I drained the battery two more times, and that is when I saw a huge difference.
I use my Phone as my iPod when I work out, and I run continuous music on it for 1.5-2 hours straight, along with sending texts to my friends. In this duration I would only use 15-20% which was a huge improvement from before. I would say that the battery life was on par with my iPhone 4 battery! It is such a relief, now I can use my iPhone 5 to it's fullest potential without having to worry it'll die on me fast.
I recommend other iPhone 5 users try draining their batteries a couple of times before charging as well if they are experiencing problems.
Hope this helps!
Dylan

I would let the battery completely die before I would charge it again. I would keep 3g off and only turn it on if I'm going to use it and turn it off again. Because the phone uses more power for the 3g/4g that the battery dies even faster.
I text a lot to friends so I'm constantly texting through out the day and when I work out continously run music on it for close to 2hours. It would only drain 15-20% of the battery, which really is a huge improvement.
I also use Siri quite often through wifi and it barely uses any battery power. Try letting the phone die until it turns off a couple of times before you charge it. That is what I did before a friend requested doing that after I was getting fraustrated with the battery power.

I've charged it and did everything i could but i just don't know the problem! Has my battery run out for good? My dad reckons a need a new battery!

Good question
But :
1. Do you usually use the backlights, and all of stuff which seem ruin the battery ?
2. Do you charge it every time you're reaching the middle of your battery capacity (or range)… ? The first generation runs actually for 4 or 5 hours before it needs recharging whereas it was announced 8 hours… But, all of us knows that Battery Li-Ion capacity depends on how we use it…
3. Are you a hard-user ?
4. The best advice is to reset it in order it to loose its memory (I mean the bad informations it has saved), full-charge it, and then press play and let it uncharge until it shut off itself… If you have around 4 ou 5 hours (or more), you don't have any battery problem… But if you problem persists, you also need a change battery (if you are under warranty, it will be free… but if you're not… it will cost about 50 $… i don't know about the price in America and Great Britain…)
But before calling Apple, try doing the test…

Jeff Bryan is right… absolutly right… But, let me give you my experience… I had, and I wrote this post two days ago, a big Battery problem… I repeat : When I inadvertendly updated my iPod Mini first generation into the new one (1.4, then 1.4.1 in order to correct the bug), my iPod started to bug… The bug was : after 30 minutes, or 1 seconds (as soons as I turned it on), or 10 minutes, — in few words it depended on the iPod —, it cuts violently off… Imagine my head hearing a sudden cut-off whereas you were listening a The Ruts "Jah war", or the Fall "New face in ****" (that were my face which was in ****, in fact), or a Joy Division's "The Kill", or a Clap your Hand say Yeah… I don't know… Imagine my face… Well I posted plenty of posts in French Mac discussions, then in Apple Discussions, in order to find solutions… I received great advices from for instance Jeff Bryan, and of course french iPod users… But nobody understood why the update software was the origin of the battery problem… I called Apple France, they answered to me that there was not a Battery problem (they were right because before updating, the iPod used to run for 7 hours)… They adviced me to reset, reset, untill it corrects the bug… That I did… But, in fact, I wrongly reseted… and I was able to correct it… yesterday, I was pretty upset seeing all around me with their Nano, their Video, or their Photo, OR their MINI∞ whatever… I reseted one more time and suddenly, a page with all languages (the famous first page you have when you just formated it), which meant that I correctly reseted… I was very ashamed because, till yesterday I wrongly reseted it… Now… after a little bug, it works… I succeeded to get over the third (because after updating it into the 1.4, 1.4.1, it cut off after a third iPod listenning… and even though I went back with the 1.1, then the 1.3, it cut off after a third iPod listenning… What a stress !!)… So if you are sure that this is not a Battery problem, I mean if before this problem you usually had no problem battery, I advice you to reset it carefully…
I would like to thank Jeff Bryan for his great advices…

Strange battery problem..

I noticed that when i charge my phone overnight and take it off the charger the battery drops from 100 to 99 in less than a minute. This is my second iPhone 4, First one had the home button wiggles and that one never had this battery problem.
Now what i do is after the battery drops to 99 right away i do a hard reset and that seems to fix it, but my question is whats causing it? and is it software or a hardware glitch? and does anyone else have this problem? to be honest i don't want to have to exchange this again its getting annoying at this point everything else is fine and don't feel like going thro the risk of having another problem with a different phone. Thanks all

I try charging my ipod for 4 hours as usual. Then when its done i take it off the as and I turn it on and listen to a few songs for about 6 mins then the screen pops out a short message that says no power please connect to power, but the ipod mini already has full power, then it shuts off in about 20 seconds. I then press a button and it comes up a Apple sign it it shows it has 85% less power then couple mins later the battery indicator goes back to full power but it does the same thing over and over again. Then i try charging it again it does the same thing again. Whats the problem?

5g battery problem??

Hi,
Yesterday while in class my iPod suddenly stopped playing and came up with 'No battery power remain, please recharge'. I thought, no problem, I'll just go back to my room and recharge it. Got back to my room plugged it into my computer and the computer didn't recognize it and all it did was reset itself every couple mins and display 'Please wait, very low battery'. I left it plugged into the computer for a while and nothing seemed to get any better. I then pulled out an old charger (that goes into the wall) and tried that. I plugged it in and the iPod turned on. I left it there to charge all night and this morning it displayed the usual 'battery charged' screen. I unplugged it and as soon as I clicked a song it turned blank and came up with 'very low battery please recharge'. It keeps doing this. As soon as I plug it into the wall it turns on and says battery charged. If I just plug it into the computer it resets itself over and over and displays very low battery. Once unplugged it comes up with 'low battery'.
This is a 2 month old 5g iPod. Please help me.

My 80gb iPod did the exact same thing last weekend. I've only had it since 1st Jan, and it wasn't even used everyday.
I received the packaging on Wed to send it to AppleCare in the UK for repair or replacement. Sent it off today to them.
Hoping for a repaired or replaced iPod back with me next week.
I'm sort of expecting to see in the media shortly about a battery problem with 5th gen iPods.. Maybe a recall. Ive seen this same problem all over forums etc on the net
