Ipod mini battery help!

I have an Ipod mini and I will listen to about two songs and it will tell me that it is out of battery power. But I charge it every night until it say charged and sometimes I leave it over night plugged in. Do I need a new battery? Any help would be great.

I'm actually having a similar problem. I've had my iPod about 3 1/2 months now and lately it's been cutting off, telling me that there's no battery power, even if I've just charged it. I've reset it and it's worked for a minute and then does the same thing. I'll have to try resetting it 2 or 3 times and then the battery will kick back in. But it's been happening for a couple of weeks now. What's the deal? I've noticed it's been doing this since I updated with the 9/23 update.

    Well just an advice. Be sure that the alarm of your iPod is not set.

  • Ipod Mini battery (1st generation)

    Thanks for your answer, but i knew it was a battery problem. How come after a year and a few months, the battery is broken? I heard there might be some probs with the 1 st generation Ipod mini battery. Is that true and will Apple replace it free? even if i'm not on the waranty anymore?

  • Help with iPod mini (Battery issues)

    I am an owner of an iPod mini (1st generation) that I bought in February from Amazon. The mini has constant battery issues that have led me to suspect a bad battery within.
    For instance; I leave my mini in it's charging cable overnight, and it reports "charged" in the morning. I leave it for the rest of the day in my coat's poket but during my walk home from the bus stop, I find that the mini's battery is completely DISCHARGED and doesn't work at all. I'm sick and tired of having my battery last only a minute before it completely dies on me while walking home.
    Can anyone lead me to a source of help? I NEED to get this problem fixed as I don't want to listen yo all my music while having to be hooked up to a cable.

    Apple will replace your battery (if its within one year of purchase, no receipt needed, just the SERIAL # on the back of your mini), and you can get repair for FREE, just $32 for shipping and handling, OR you can, if an Apple store is near your home or in your town, take it to them, and get a REPLACEMENT mini on the spot, for FREEEEE!!!
    Try those methods, but i HIGHLY suggest you take it to an Apple store first and see their take on the issue!!!

  • IPod Mini Battery Icon with Lightning--PLEASE HELP!!

    When I turn off my iPod, the battery symbol shows up on the screen with the lightning bolt on the left of it--even though it's fully charged. When I leave like that for a period of time and come back to it--the screen is blank but the iPod won't turn on again until I plug it in and charge it again. I think that symbol showing up is running down the battery or something.
    This all started when I plugged my iPod into a different computer and I guess it got "confused" and shut down and I couldn't get it to come back on. However, I plugged it into my car charger and reset and it seemed to work fine except the battery icon in the corner had that lightning bolt.
    It works fine otherwise it just seems like I will have to have it constantly charging instead of letting it sleep?!
    Any advice?

  • Ipod mini troubles: Help Needed

    I really need help with ipod mini troubleshooting..
    I've had my Ipod mini for about 3 years now and lately have been running into a few problems.
    In the past few months:
    -My Ipod's "battery meter" has been acting really strange, one second it may be reading as 3/4 full, and the next it shuts down saying that my battery has depleted, then a few minutes later it will be reading full again. And just to let you know, I always charge it overnight to avoid having a dead battery, and I always make sure to properly shut it off using "hold".
    Resetting my ipod works sometimes, but other times doesn't..
    Yesterday:
    My Ipod is no longer responding at all, and I'm pretty sure I know why: Some careless person spilled some water near and on my ipod, I dried it off as soon as I could. It was working properly shortly afterwards, but a few hours later, it shut off saying that the battery was dead again, and a picture of a "cartoon ipod" with dead eyes("XX") appeared on my screen, and it said under the picture to go to "www.apple/support/ipod". This was when it wasn't connected to a power source. When I connected my ipod to my computer via USB, my itunes does not recognize that it is connected ("Do not disconnect" does not appear on my ipod) and a picture of a "dead battery" has appeared on my screen, it is not in the "recharging mode" either (with the picture of the battery moving).
    I tried re-setting it numourous times, and always end up with either the "dead battery" picture, or the "dead cartoon ipod" picture on it.
    Help would be greatly appreciated, as I use my ipod everyday for school and leisure.
    Thanks.

    I've tried that several times without luck.

  • Ipod Mini battery - how long?

    I have a 2nd gen Ipod mini 4Gb. I estimate that the battery lasts 10 - 12 hrs max with 50% vol and minimal hunting round the menu. I have just got an itrip and despite griffin's statements, it looks like its chewing battery!
    How long do you folks get with normal operation and how long with an itrip mini attached?

    I have a 2g 4GB mini and the itrip, On a few long car trips I've found that a full battery will last 7-8 hours, beyond that I had to buy a car charger. On about 10+ car trips the battery has lasted into the 7-8 hour range.
    Hope that helps.

  • IPod Mini battery Maintenance.

    Hello all. I am already dubious about the length of my battery on my ipod mini, even though I have only had if for a couple of months! I have seen such differing views in an array of places with regards to how often to charge your ipod. I have read in Q magazine that the battery is not like a mobile battery which should be completely drained and then refilled, but instead topped up every couple of days to not let it get low. But some websites say that the ipod should be totally flattened then fully recharged. Which is true? Thanks for your help!!!

    Charge it fully than drain it until iPod cuts the power than charge it fully again. I think it's better to drain it fully again so that the power indicator calibrates itself better. By the way to drain it you don't have to leave it playing or something just use it as you do usually. Enjoy it but don't charge it until it cuts the power off.

  • Ipod mini battery change

    Can someone walk me through changing a battery to an Ipod mini? Is the battery something that I can buy at a store near me? Is it something i can do on my own, or do i need to send it somewhere?
    Thanks for any help/information/guidance you can give me.

    do you know some good third-pary batteries are? I am trying to decide between sonnet technologies and newertech, both of which are 600 mAh, but the sonnet one is 10 bucks cheaper. Also i found this company that had a 750 mAh battery that was the same price as the newertech one but had a kind of sketchy website

  • IPod mini battery shows empty even after it charged for hours, but works?

    i'm new to this, i borrowed someone's iPod mini and when battery ran out i put it to charge to my new macbook, charged for a few hours, lightning bolt showed all the while even if sometimes the indicator showed full and other times it showed that it was charging. now that i've disconnected it, it shows empty but it still works, can anyone help?
    I read here http://www.vsa.cape.com/~danh/ipod.htm that this could happen, that the battery indicator could start showing full after 20 minutes... should i start panicking or not?

  • IPod mini battery replacement

    I am in the midst of testing my iPod mini for the battery replacement program. My question is if I qualify for the program, will I be sent a new iPod mini, or the current equivalent, an iPod nano?
    Any help at all will be appreciatied!

    The information on this page says that your replacement will be functionally equivalent to the original, which suggests that you will be sent another iPod mini. You might get sent one of a different color, and if your original iPod mini is gold, you will definitely get another color.

  • Ipod mini battery trouble

    Hello, I purchased my son a mini ipod and although i am not 100% positive which generation it is i do know that it is either a generation 1 or 2. My son was listening to the ipod in bed one night then it froze on the song, on the screen it showed the song and the artist.
    My son is tellin me 2 different stories either he droped it or it suddenly froze.
    I have changed the battery myself through instructios i found on the internet, everything went fine. All that the screen shows now is an apple symbol even when i put it in the wall to charge, A battery symbol appeared for about 10 seconds then it went back to the apple symbol this was before i plugged it into the wall.
    Is there anyway i can fix it or do i have to restore it or is my apple ipod mini stuffed!!
    Any help would be most appreciated..
    Thank You

  • IPod mini Battery & Reset Problems - So Annoying!

    Hi Everyone!
    My first post and it's a problem!
    I bought the second generation iPod mini back at the very end of February this year. I love it to bits and i've used it every single day since i got it! I charge it whenever i need to (mostly every other day!).
    But recently in the last 3/4 weeks its started to play up. It now resets itself at least 2/3 times a day and has started to become really annoying. The iPod will now no-longer charge fully at all, and it's says the battery's dead, and then it'll grow again! The battery symbol and the battery text will also come up frequently!
    This is really starting to get on my nerves!
    What can i do, i've only had it for nearly 8 months!
    Please help and offer any suggestions!
    Rich!

    Hi Richard,
    Sounds like you're having the same problem as me (I posted in a seperate post same time as you!!)
    Hope someone can help us out, can't face having to send mine to Apple to be fixed and be without it for a week or two!!!

  • Odd Ipod mini battery

    My ipod mini often switches off and says it has low battery and needs to be connected to the power, but when I switch it back on again the battery is half full or more. Can anyone explain why?

    Cell oxidation, is the cause of high resistance in Li-ion batteries. It is non-reversible and is the ultimate cause of battery failure, and no amount of charging it will help.
    Expect a typical life span of a Li‑ion battery to be one to three years, whether it is used or not.
    Try this test.
    How to accurately determine your iPod battery life.
    Remember, self-discharge of a battery increases with age and usage. Once a battery exhibits high self-discharge, little can be done to reverse the effect.
    It may be time for a battery replacement.
