IPod Touch fully charge after only 2 hours of charging, is that normal?

I bought an iPod Touch 4g recently and since I bought it, I noticed that my battery only takes 2 hours to be fully charged (even though the battery is completely drained). I remember the tech specs of the product said that it takes up to 4 hours to fully charge and 2 hours for a 80% fast charge.
Is there a difference in charge time if I charge my iPod through my computer via USB, and with an iPad charger?
Is this normal? Or is there something wrong with my iPod's battery?

Hi Illaass,
Thanks for the reply, but where do I find the Genius Bar in the Apple Store? Do you mean the one in iTunes?
I've been using my iPod Touch to read books and a fully charged battery basically lasts me approximately 10 hours of continuous reading. I have yet to test out the battery life as suggested by Apple, whereby I'm supposed to take note of the music layback that I can get on a fully charged battery. I was planning to do it after you first replied but I found it too much of a hassle and therefore, have not gotten myself to do it.

  • Macbook Air (2012) says "Not Charging" when magsafe2 first plugged in but then starts charging after a few seconds. Is that normal?

    Hi guys,
    I just purchased my first Apple notebook, the Macbook Air 13", last week and needless to say its a wonderful machine. However I've noticed that when I plug in the magsafe2 plug to charge the Air, the text next to battery icon says "Not Charging" for a few seconds (ranges from 1 to 3 seconds) before it disappears and the battery starts charging (the thunderbolt sign comes on). Seeing as this is my first Apple notebook I am unsure as to whether or not this behaviour is normal. I've searched the forums but have only been able to find one other case (w/o a solution).
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hey Guys,
    Thanks for the info so far but now the time until it starts charging has increased to around 9 - 11 seconds, is this still normal?
    Thanks,

  • Is that normal? My iPod touch G5 standby after fully charge 2 hr 58 min. then level battery is 68.5%. (use voice over to read battery level)

    I do not understand what "My iPod touch G5 standby after fully charge 2 hr 58 min." means.
    Also % battery is not accurate for an iPod. It fluctuates.

    If after you charge it for about three hours and it only last about five minutes the battery is probably dead or there could be another hardware problem.  I would go back to the Apple store and ask them specifically how can it be OK if the fully charged battery only lasts five minutes.

  • IPod touch not working after data erase

    I have an iPod Touch 1st generation. Although it is old it always worked perfectly. It was until I put "erase all data" in the iPod settings when it stopped working. I'm not sure of what I did. I was expecting to erase only songs,apps, videos, photos, etc... but now I don't know if I erased some important software that makes the iPod work. The ipod always turn on when I charge it, but I only see the white apple and the sign that is loading. I'll be glad if you help me on this!

    Sadly, I too am having problems here...I recieved apple error 2330 sometime after the Fall...I have been trying to sleuth and work my way around all this mumbo jumbo for months!
    1) I cannot properly use iTunes for some reason
    2) I erased the data in my ipod Touch (1st generation) manually via the iPod Touch, and right after I did this, it gave me the Apple logo with the slash and the spinning progress wheel that users above mentioned...
    Please help us!

    Hi, I have recently brought some tv programmes from itunes on my ipod touch. I can only watch them when i'm connected to the internet though. Any way i can move them to my music folder too? Thanks

    That means it is not fully downloaded so you are streaming it. Fully download it.
