Is it bad for the battery if i leave my nano 5th on the charger all the time?

Is it bad for the battery if i leave my nano 5th on the charger all the time?

No, it's actually what you're supposed to do. To prolong the battery life, try to keep its level high or full as much as you can.
I don't know for sure, but I think the iPod does not draw current from the charging battery but from the charger itself.

  • Ipod is saying it's charged all the time, and won't connect at all to comp

    ok, so i have the white ipod nano, the first ones, and it's saying that it's charged all the time. you know the plug sign in the battery at the top of the screen, it's like that permanently!? and the only time when it's not showing it, is when the USB lead and the block charger that goes into the plug sockets is connected to it, which seems completly ridiculous i know, but yeh. and so when i want to connect it to the computer (obviously having to remove the socket block charger from the lead in order to connect to the USB port), it says it's charging again, and the computer doesn't recognise it whatsoever. anyone know how to sort this out, or any techniques to get the computer to connect to the ipod!?
    it's really getting on my nerves. i know my ipod is very old haha, but i hate the new ipods and i've been trying to rekindle it's life on many occasions haha
    pleease help, and suggestions would be very much appreciated!!

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    or maybe this:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I forgot my ipad on charge after 100%,is this bad for ipad battery?

    I forgot my ipad on charge after 100%,is this bad for ipad battery?

    Once the battery was fully charged, the smart circuitry stops charging the battery.  Power is then used just for running the device, and the charging circuits will not cut back in until the battery has spontaneously drifted down by 5%-10% of a full charge (which should take days with a normal, healthy battery).
    You cannot over charge any Apple device.

  • Using a power bank good or bad for iphone battery lifespan?

    I currently use iphone 5, i see many aid product made now such as power bank,
    but a question comes in my mind , is that good or bad for our battery lifespan?

    Are you referring to cases with battery packs in them?
    If so, most have a switch to turn the battery in the case on or off.
    Having the iPhone or any phone in a battery case is neither good or bad.  It is merely a way to extend the "life" of the device between charges without the need to physically plug the device in as there is always the extra battery onboard.

  • My 16b 3gs was working perfectly.  The battery died and I plugged it in correctly to charge and it also neohook up to itunes for restore.  It also had a little exclamation button that reads: IMEI:unknown and just below it read ICCID: Unknown. Nothing else

    My 16gig ipone 3gs was working perfectly since it was replaced only a month or to prior.  I was visiting with some friends around the ole pipe and low and behold the phone was completly dried of it's go juice.  One we noticed I reached into the kitchen and plugged it in to the outlet.,,,  The battery died and I plugged it in correctly to charge and it also said Emergency calls only in various foriegn languages. It also said to plug it into your itunes. All the while haviing no calling options to say the least.  I followed the apple instructions perfectly when it said that there was a new version of itunes I should download first, prior to refreshing it.  It went through all of the installing and so on then at the end you still get a useless phone that doesnt work.  IMEI: unknown and ICCIC; unknown (both of which can be found by you on the box or on the sim card case.  I  completley removed the sim card and it worked in my hubbies 3g.   I tried several times and also AT&t had made sure the imei and iccic where correct.  So I spent hours getting nowhere with this.  Its new and nice and broken.. Im going to leave that Apple store with a brand new iphone 4 tomorrow.  Simply b/c it is for my pain and suffering and for giving me a crappy refurbished phone.  Fair is fair.  So if you've found a way to fix great, but Im going to get that free iphone 4  xoxo  toodllloooo

    The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
    Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If under warranty, as you say (the warranty is transferable) and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

  • When i plug in my charger to my macbook and have it charged all the way i can only use it for an hour before it dies on me again. what is wrong with my macbook? what can i do to fix it?

    when i plug in my charger to my macbook and have it charged all the way i can only use it for an hour before it dies on me again. what is wrong with my macbook? what can i do to fix it?

    Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report in 10.7), then select Power from the left hand column of the System Profiler. Copy and paste the Battery Information back here.
    Also it would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report in 10.7).When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.

  • On my iPhone 5, the battery symbol and percentage won't change, even while charging or during usage throughout the day. The battery is however charging and draining properly from what I can tell.

    Has anyone had this issue or know of a fix?
    Thanks

    Try this
    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
    Using the phone while charging doesn't create a problem.. I do it all the time

  • I've lost the battery lid of my ZEN NANO PL

    I've lost the battery lid of my ZEN NANO PLUS (black). There's a way to have it's I li've in Pisa (ITALY) and the shop where i bought the MP3Player (MEDIA WORLD) said me that thay have no a direct contact with you.
    I very care about it cause it was a present.
    Thanks for the answer.
    *ITALIANO*
    Ho perso il coperchietto della batteria del mio ZEN NANO PLUS nero.
    C'? un modo per averlo? Vivo a PISA e il negozio dove l'ho comprato (Media World) mi ha detto che non ha un contatto diretto con voi. Ci terrei molto a trovarlo dato che il lettore era un regalo. Grazie.

    If you have broken two?covers, then I suppect you are a hard user.
    Yes I am using players very often. I am listening daily?radio shows for a few hours and then I?am writing analysis and reviews of those shows.
    If careful, they don't break. We have six of them here at my house?with no cover?breakage. The only one I gave as a gift, now has a broken tab. That owner just jamed the cover in place, so it was no surprise when it broke.
    I think I am using the player normal and in daily situation - walking, in the bus etc... I have been able to find many examples of broken lid for Nano Plus that are available here:

    Don't think that Creative is going to redesign the cover at this late date.
    Well I didn't mean in the sense of re-design but in a sense of a new model that will upgrade Nano Plus. If new model will have better battery lid I would immediately transfer to another new and fresh model.
    What is the current status of Nano Plus anyway? Has that model been replaced by any other new-upgraded model in the mean time?

This has been happening for at least the past 2 weeks.If I don't leave my phone on the charger it drains really fast. I'll be at 100% and less than 30 minutes later it's at 83%. What's the deal APPLE??!!!
    There is no Apple in this user to user forum.
    Take your phone to the Apple store and have the guys at the Genius bar take a look at it.
    also use the search function at the top right of the forum, "battery" look for the thread with the green checkmark.

    My Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks on the left side. I am running Lion. How do I get this to charge and turn on? Thanks

    If your model Macbook Pro is the calibrating model, let the battery calibrate. 
    If not, and are still under warrant or have Apple Care, give them a call and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you. 

  • Just got my iPad 2 three days ago and noticed the battery life drops faster than I expected at least compared to the others ones around

    Just got my iPad 2 three days ago and noticed the battery life drops faster than I expected at least compared to the others ones around, please I need to know the cause and how to effect necessary changes that will prolong the battery life as I have gone through the settings which includes turning off the push notifications, reduce brightness and so on but that doesn't seem to help much.

    FYI
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
