Ipod battery not staying charged

I have an Ipod mini and recently I have been having problems with the battery staying charged. I will leave it plugged in for at least 24 hours and then when I go to use it, it will only play for about 15 minutes and then the low battery warning comes on and then the ipod cuts off. I have been charging it with the wall adapter and not through the computer. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am having this same problem with my ipod mini.
I have owned it for a few months, but have not used it on a daily basis... maybe twice a week.
It can be fully charged, but once I have carried it around for a couple of days, (on hold) then try to use it, it will not start up.
Have done the 5 r's. Resetting does nothing, I have to plug it back into my pc to get it to start up or to be able to reset it.
The last couple of times it looks as though the battery charge was down even though it had not been used.
Does this have to be sent in for repair?
I paid a lot of money for this thing, and don't want to be spending hours wasting my time troubleshooting this thing.
That's Apple's job.

  • My ipod battery doesnt stay charge too long

    My ipod battery stay for 2 hours max and i dont know whats going on it supposed to stay over 14 hours. pls help me.

    thanks for your help a friend told me that no ipod can stay longer than that but im returning it because apple tell that an ipod can stay up to 14 hours but i think they said that to make money and im not really happy with that. For the half price even better i can get a mp3 player that is 1 gb too but stays longer and its easy to use

  • Battery Not Staying Charged!

    Hey Everyone,
    I have had my iPod G5 for about 2 years now. I usually use it with an FM Charger in my vehicle. However, I noticed about a month ago it has stopped keeping charge. When I charge it, it says charged and then I will turn it off, when I go to turn it on, say a day later, even if I haven't used it, the battery will be depleated. I was wondering if my battery's life has been all used up and I need a new battery, or if I should just get a new iPod. Was wondering first though if this was a fixable problem. For example, I turned it on last night, and it was at 3 quarters charged and this morning it does not have enough power to even turn on, the apple shows up and then the screen turns off.
    Is there any way to fix the battery or do I need a new one?
    Thanks.

    It's been on the same settings since I bought it and it used to last A LOT longer so I'm not sure why all of a sudden it drains so quickly! If I bring it into the Genius bar, what would they do to it? Change the battery or replace the whole thing??

  • Why is my battery not staying charged while staying plugged in?

    Hello,
    I  have a HP 2000-0369WM  laptop purchased a year ago (refurbished). For the most part, I always stay plugged in while I use it. For some reason the battery is showing as only 46% charged. I went to Microsoft Community and went through a lot of diagnostic testing and was told to come here to see what I should do. I have a Battery Bar installed and it shows me at 46%. What to do?

    Take it in for service.

  • My Ipod 4g will not stay charged. He charges it to show full battery

    My sons Ipod 4g will not stay charged.  He charges it to show full battery & will only work for 20 mins or so.  I have tried resetting the whole Ipod, we have tried a wall charger instead of computer charger, he has removed items off thinking they were to much for the Ipod. Nothing works.....

    If you successfully  (went through all steps without errors) restored the iPod to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Battery will not stay charged

    My daughter's ipod, an Xmas present, has a battery problem. It will not stay charged. We took the ipod to a store. They reloaded software, said it should be fine. I went home and charged it for SIX HOURS, and it held a charge for oh, about half an hour.
    So now we sent it off to Apple. And without contacting me first or anything they say it is FINE (have they charged it and then waited to see if it HELD the charge, boy i doubt that) and are sending it back.
    That is why my alias is "inhell." Because I am. Any body have any ideas what is wrong with it?
    Any way to convince Apple that they have to try to USE it before they tell me it is FINE?
    Thanks.

  • Ipod battery not charges fully

    Hi friends,
    i have ipod bought a month back, last week it's battery charge was totally went down, Now iam charging it for last 2 days continously , but still it's not charged fully. Also the PC is not able to recognise the IPOD , so does the ITUNE also. I hope it's because the IPOD is not fully charged. But why does it take more than 2 days for battery charging? Do i need to approach a servie center for replacing the battery? Please help me.
    Note: I can see only blinking orange light whenever i connected it to a PC or through a external electric power supplier.

  • HT1476 My battery shows 100% than 5 min later it says 30% why does my iPhone 5 not stay charged for a long time

    My iPhone 5 will not stay charged it says it's 100% charged then 5 min later it says I have 30% battery life please help

    Off-brand cables and chargers are often a source of problems with iOS devices...always use genuine Apple cables and chargers as they meet the specs for the device.
    The best solution at this point would be to take the iPone, cable and charger to an Apple store genius bar and have all tested to see if there are faults in the components.

  • Battery does not stay charged very long, I-Pad 2 years old, is this just part of it being older model?

    What do you mean by not very long?  How many hours?

  • My ipod touch wont stay charged

    My ipod touch will not stay charged...

    Then you need a new battery.  However, you provided no information about how long a charg lass and what the iPod is doing in that time period so this is only an educated guess.

  • My 2nd generation ipod will not stay on an app

    my 2 nd generation ipod will not stay on an app for instance ghost radar classic stays on for a minute then goes to app store

    Believe it or not the iPod can go for months on end without ever completely powering down. Sometimes it helps to simply reboot it like any computer.
    The following article explains how to do that, and more:

  • I have CQ40.The battery not getting charged.

    1. Compaq CQ40
    2. Free operating system [ Ubundu]
    3. Battery not getting charged in my CQ40 laptop. But its getting charge in other CQ40 laptop.
    4. Its a long time problem. So i have changed some part related to power supply in mother board as per a service technician.

    Clean the dock connector with a soft, dry brush.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
