My iPod Battery only last about an hour when watching videos. Why??

Whenever I watch a video on my iPod which I got about a week ago the battery dies very quickly.An example is I have Lost on it and I only can watch an episode and a half before my iPod dies.
30gb Windows XP Pro

Thats perfectly normal. The 14 hour battery life is for playing music and even with playing music u only get about 10 hours if ur lucky.
i usually watch an hour and a half movie and the battery will be at the red bar. but once its at the red bar it still lasts a while. dont worry its all normal.
the reason it drains so much battery is because the backlight uses alot of power wen ur playing a movie.

Year-old nano's battery only lasts about 9 hours--normal?

The one-year warranty on my nano expires in about two weeks. The battery only lasts about 9 hours when playing AACs purchased from the iTunes Music Store continuously, with the EQ and backlight turned off.
Not too shabby, but also nowhere near the 14 hours it got when it was new.
My question for those of you who have had warranty repairs for battery problems--would Apple consider 9 hours of battery life "defective" and worthy of a warranty repair or replacement?
Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Actually Apple says up to 14 hours. You're doing ok with this because you're getting about 65% or more battery life from the max of 14 hours.
Just to be clear, you can only buy the AppleCare plan during the first 12 months warranty period, so if your iPod is nearing a year old, better be quick.
Btw, have you seen these?

The battery life on my ipod nano 6th generation only lasts about 2 hours. Is this standard or should it last longer?

- When sleeping the iPod can use wifi and if it has trouble connecting it will keep trying and drain the battery. I leave mine in airplane mode when sleeping. Otherwise it is frequenlty drained like you see on yours.
- The rapid drop whe playing vido seems to indicae that something is wrong.
- If your iPod is defective and under warranty, Apple will give you a refurbished one of the same model.

Ipod touch 4g battery only lasts 1-2 hour

My ipod touch battery only lasts 1-2 hours, and even when the brightness is at the lowest, +/- 2 hours. This page says the battery life is 7 hours when listening to music and 4 hours when watching videos. Is this my fault or is my battery not doing good? I'm not listening to music or playing videos, i'm just browsing on the web, browsing in the app store and playing games (sound turned off). What can i do about this? Should I contact Apple? Thanks, nelson2tm.

Why does my MacBook Pro's battery only lasting about 30 minutes since upgrading to OS 10.8?

I had absolutely no battery issues with my new MacBook Pro 15 inch until I upgraded to the new OS Mountain Lion. Now, my laptop is hot—CPU Heatsink, 135 degrees, and enclosure base 93-95 degrees. Additionally, the battery now only lasts about 30-45 minutes on a full charge due to the fans running from 2000 to 3500 RPMs. Someone else have the same issues?

Is the 135 degrees Celsius? If so, that is very hot indeed. Fans always run at a minimum of 2000 RPM. At this temp, fans should be running at something like 6000 RPM! Something is heating up your computer. In Activity Monitor, with "All Processes" selected, which processes are using the most CPU, and how much are they using?
If the temperature is in Farenheit, this is not so very hot and the problem with your battery is elsewhere.
Have you tried Resetting the System Management Controller ... ?

New MacBook Pro Battery Only last 2:30 hours...

Hello,
I bought my new macbook pro in november and the battery was fine. It lasted 5 hours. But now, when I fully charge it, it only says that my battery will last 2:30...
I happened all of a sudden. What can I do? I tried to re-calibrate it by fully uncharge it and then fully charge it...
Any tips?
Thank you!
John

Did you follow the steps in this linked kbase article, including the 2 hour wait on AC power and the 5 hour wait after forced sleep?
It would help if you post your Battery Information from System Profiler (Apple menu > About this Mac > More Info > Power) - the relevant lines are Full Charge Capacity, Cycle Count, and Condition.
Finally, check for 'runaway' processes using a lot of CPU power - in Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor > CPU tab, click the popup to Show: Active Processes then click the CPU column header to sort by usage. Is there anything using a lot of power?

IPhone 5 battery only lasts for 3 hours of usage

My iPhone 5 64GB is not working as well as I think it should be. After about 3 hours of usage (according to usage statistics in settings), which is just Facebook and web browsing, and 9 total hours of standby, the battery dies. This is mainly over 4G with medium brightness. Background App Refresh is off, most location services are off, Push emails are off, reduce motion is on. I have tried everything I have found online to try and fix this, but nothing has worked. On top of that, my iPhone was just replaced at an Apple Store, so I'm not really sure what it could be.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello pierre0,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Since you have just received this iPhone as a replacement from an Apple Store, it should still be within its 90 day warranty. Please take the device back to the store and inform them of the issue.
A replacement part or Apple Product, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance with instructions provided by Apple, assumes the remaining term of the Warranty or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you.

Battery only lasts 5.5 hours - possible they sent wrong battery?

So I love my laptop, it is great, but I feel the battery is a lot less than advertised. I used it today to see how long it lasts on battery and it was about 5.5 hours instead of the 15 hours advertised.
I have the T430 with discrete graphics, but I think it stays inactive unless I do something intensive. I was basically just browsing the internet, chatting, tweeting. I did have like 15-20 tabs open though.
If it matters, I upgraded to 256 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM and moved 7200 RPM HDD to UltraBay.
Is it possible i was sent the 6-cell battery instead of 9-cell? How do I check?
Solved!

Hi sens_adnan,
If you remove ther battery, on the left hand side is the lenovo logo.
Underneath is the part # for your battery.
If the part # is: 45N1007, then your battery is the 6-cell

X240 DO NOT HAVE Internal Battery, keypad backlit. 3 Cell External Battery only last for 2 hours!

Why does Lenovo dont tell about this missing features??
I bought the unit a day before I left the country, and then to my surprise it does not have the internal battery that Lenovo is boasting about. Fn+Spacebar doesnt work in lighting up the keypad and the 3-cell external batter is no way near to 4 hrs!
**bleep** hell Lenovo?
Another thing, is it possible to turn on the light (near the webcam) to light up the keyboard at all?

Hi,
1. Information about battery capacity for laptops with fixed configuration (i.e.not CTO) is provided in PSREF (for not all countries), on Lenovo support site in laptop model short description. It looks like the strings below:
6c Li-Ion
3c front battery and 3c rear battery
3c front battery and 6c rear battery
The 1st string is for 6 cell rear (external) battery.
If laptop is CTO the battery information is available in the purchase order or in the parts data base.
2. Keyboard backlight capability is optional feature. This information could be found in PSREF, in support site parts data base by laptop serial number.
3. ThinkLight feature is absent in Haswell based Lenovo Thinkpads.

I have an older ipod and the battery only lasts an hour if i buy a newer ipod can i transfer content from the old ipod to the new one?

i have an older ipod which is about 10 years old now and i am thinking of bouying a new one as the battery only lasts 1 hour, what i would like to know is if it is possible to transfer content from the old ipod to a new one or can they be transferred from itunes on the computer to a new ipod?

Welcome to Apple Communities
You have the songs in iTunes, so you have to connect the new one and sync it

I just got a ipod nano 6th gen, and ive been using it for 2 days, and it seems that the battery just lasts about half a day, on playing 1 to 3 songs in intervals of 1-2 hours. Whats wrong with my ipod?

Your nano would really have nothing to do with it at that point. It is really something between iTunes and whatever server out there on the internet that it is trying to connect to for the update.
Try posting this one in the iTunes forum, they might have a solution for you.

Battery only lasts for about 7 hours after Update to IOS 4.2.1

Hello folks,
after I have updated my Iphone 3G to the newest firmware (4.2.1) may battery only lasts for about 7hrs in standby-mode (no tethering, umts, wifi, whatsoever), while it has been much much better before.
Does anyone of you have the problem or a solution for it?
Thanks,
Alex

I'm happy to tell you that the problem, at least for myself, is gone. I checked around on the forum and apparently it could be so that something went wrong when updating to 4.2.1 so restoring the phone from itunes could be the fix. I did so and the problems seams to be solved.

You can follow these steps to save battery.
1. Turn on Auto-Brightness - The iPhone has an ambient light sensor that adjusts the brightness of the screen based on the light around it (darker in dark places, brighter when there's more ambient light) to both save battery and make it easier to see. Turn Auto-Brightness on and you’ll save battery because your screen will need to use less power in dark places.
Find it in the Settings app -> Brightness & Wallpaper -> Auto-Brightness On
2. Reduce Screen Brightness -the brighter the default setting for the screen, the more battery it requires. Keep the screen dimmer to conserve more of your battery.
Find it in Settings -> Brightness & Wallpaper
3. Stop Motion (iOS 7) -It's really cool, but it also drains battery. You may want to leave it on to enjoy the effect, but if not, turn it off this way:
Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion -> move slider to green/on
4. Turn Bluetooth Off- Turn off Bluetooth except when you’re using it to squeeze more juice from your battery.
Find it in Settings -> Bluetooth -> Move Slider to Off
5. Turn Off Location Services -
This allows your phone to know where you are and give you exact driving directions, give that information to apps that help you find restaurants, and more. But, like any service that sends data over a network, it needs battery power to work. If you’re not using Location Services, and don’t plan to right away, turn them off and save some power.
Find it in Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> Slide to Off
6. Don't Automatically Update Apps (iOS 7)-
If you've got iOS 7, you can forget needing to update your apps by hand. There's now a feature that automatically updates them for you when new versions are released. Convenient, but also a drain on your battery. To only update apps when you want to, and thus manage your battery better:
Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Updates -> move slider to off/white
7. Auto-Lock Sooner -
You can set your iPhone to automatically go to sleep – a feature known as Auto-Lock - after a certain amount of time. The sooner it sleeps, the less power is used to run the screen or other services. Try setting Auto-Lock to 1 or 2 minutes.
Find it in Settings -> General -> Auto-Lock -> Tap your Preference
Few more things that would consume battery even when not is use are the applications that run in background.
Follow the below steps to quit all running applications.
1) Double tap on the home button on the iPhone ( this will display all apps that are running in the back ground).
2) Just click on the tiny red X to quit application ( if iPhone is running on iOS 6 and below) else just swipe yhour finger over the running app upwards to quit ( if running on iOS7).
