Specs of the ipod nano battery

Hello everybody
My main question is: What capacity does the original ipod nano battery have?
I'm not looking for a 3rd parity replacement - i'm only concerned about the max. charging current given by apple as 1 Amp.
Li-Ion as well as Li-Poly batteries can be charged at a maximum of 1C (0.5A for 500mAh, 0.7A for 700mAh and so on)
higher charging current is quite dangerous and can result in damage or even explosion.
I doubt that the ipod nano batteries really have a capacity of 1000mAh. So i wonder if the current is limited by the ipod itself.
Does anybody know this?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
While I don't know a great deal about batteries, charging currents, etc., I would tell you to just stick with what Apple says.
I'm sure there are other parts inside the iPod nano that could be affected by higher voltages, or there is some other reason for this limit.

  • IPod Nano Battery Life when using Nike+

    I saw this on the support site:
    How much does using the Nike + iPod system affect my iPod nano battery playback time? The receiver draws very little power from the iPod nano. The overall impact on the iPod nano battery playback time is less than 5 percent.
    However, I've owned my Nike+ kit for a couple of weeks now and I went from fully charged to almost empty on my battery after only 3 1-hour exercise sessions! That seems pretty insane given how much battery life the 2G nano is supposed to have. Any thoughts?

    Are you leaving the backlight on during your workouts? If so, that's probably the culprit.
    Also, do you get "normal" battery life (12-20 hours of playback, depending on EQ settings, backlight, etc.) when you're using your nano simply to play music (and not using the Nike kit)?

  • Does the iPod nano come with a means to charge the battery?

    Does the iPod nano come with a means to charge the battery?

    Yes it comes with a syncing cable that you can connect to your PC's USB ports to charge or you can connect it to an Apple wall adapater (sold seperately).

  • Does the ipod nano can record sounds?

    Does the iPod nano can record sounds connecting "headphones with microphone"?

    Hi uptight,
    Yes, the iPod Nano does support MP4 files.
    You can find more information about the files the iPod supports here: http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    You can convert many videos right from iTunes. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1211 will walk you through the process with sample files.

  • Does Creative have an answer to the iPod Nano? (or possibly a lawsuit for using that nam

    Mini and Micro didn't clash as much as Zen Nano and iPod Nano do... Any lawsuits? Or can that not be possible for some reason?
    Back to my main question: I know, I always seem to post about whether or not Creative is doing something that others are doing... but I love Creative's products and I want to see more from them. Better quality products, especially.
    Creative has HAD Flash-based players for a while... But they have few that are rechargable (MuVo X-trainer and Slim are the only I can think of) and none of those in the US (for sale currently) are over 52MB. Apple has just released quantities of TWO and FOUR GIGABYTES! Creative's largest is ONE GB for the Zen Nano and MuVo Micro (both require AA batteries or something... I'd prefer recharagable.)
    So is Creative going to release any 2 or 4 GB Flash based players any time soon? I prefer them... Especially after my unfortunate incident with my original Zen and Creative's pitiful American support (in Ohio or some place).
    I want to replace my 52MB X-Trainer with a rechargable flash player with a larger capacity. I'd love to have a 4 GB flash player. I'd really love it for $250 (apple's price for the iPod Nano). You might ask why I don't just get an iPod Nano (the black actually looks kind of neat, come to think of it.) I don't get one because I use Windows and I prefer WMA to MP3 and whatever AAC thing the iPod uses. Perhaps if I had a Mac and iTunes was the only choice for online music for my system... Then I'd definitely get an iPod. But with Windows, I'd prefer to just use one of the many online shops that sell WMAs.

    "Creative has HAD Flash-based players for a while... But they have few that are rechargable "
    When using a player that takes a AAA battery, just use a rechargeable AAA.
    "Apple has just released quantities of TWO and FOUR GIGABYTES!"
    Yes, however they aren't practical for many people since they aren't compatible with Yahoo's unlimited music service. Many people would rather get a Zen Micro or Sleek and pay $60 a year to Yahoo to fill up their player with music rather than pay over $,000 to Apple to fill up their 4 gig player with music at 99 cents a song. With the Yahoo service, one can also change the music in their player without additional cost.
    "Creative's largest is ONE GB for the Zen Nano and MuVo Micro (both require AA batteries or something... I'd prefer recharagable."
    With Creative's Nano and Nano Plus, one can use a rechargeable AAA battery. Rechargeable AAA batteries are great since most chargers can charge 4 at a time. Four nimh AAA rechargeable batteries and a charger can often be purchased for under $20.
    With the ipod Nano, once the charge in the built in battery runs out, one can't listen to it until it is recharged. With the Creative Nano Plus, one just switches to another battery(remember I just mentioned how AAA nimh batteries can be conveniently charged 4 at a time?). Taking an ipod Nano on a long trip would be annoying. While the player is small, the notebook computer one would need to carry with it to recharge the player is quite large. I would much rather carry a few extra AAA batteries than a notebook computer(I as many others don't even own a notebook computer).
    "I'd love to have a 4 GB flash player. ."
    I would also love to have one, but only if it is compatible with Yahoo Music Unlimited, uses a AA or AAA battery, and has a built in radio. That rules out Apple's players on three counts.

  • Software update for the iPod Nano 6th Gen

    Is there gonna be any software update for the iPod Nano 6th Gen for video playback??

    Re: Software update for the iPod Nano 6th Gen
    There is already new hardware for the nano (7th Generation) and it would take a hardware modification to put video on the 6th Generation Nano so no speculation was needed, Carl had the correct answer.
    My Original iPod Nano received updates beyond it's generation, there is no reason to conclude this would not be possible for other models and generations. Why would the iPod Nano 6G need a hardware modification for video playback? It already can do analog composite video output for viewing slideshows with music and transitions on a TV and can handle full photo resolutions. The iPod Nano 6G seems more than capable from a hardware perspective of video playback, it's just that the screen is tiny small for viewing video realistically for any length of time with comfort. That can be rectified by using the onboard TV out feature, though battery life might be miserable. It has nothing to do with the release of the iPod Nano 7G.

  • I just got the Ipod nano about 3 weeks ago. It worked great up untill today. It would not turn on, or connect to my computer. I called the apple company, and the said it was defaulted, and to send it in and they would replace it. Will I get a new one?

    I just got the ipod nano about 3 weeks ago. It worked great up untill today. It would not turn on, or connect into my computer. I took it back to best buy and they said it had a defulted battery, and that I needed to call the company. So I did and they had me send it in. Will they send me a new ipod, or a refurbished one. I havn't even had the ipod long enough, and I paid good money for it. I'm hoping to get a new one, because it wasn't my fault.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar       
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours. The cracked screen voids any warranty you had on the iPod.

  • Using Speakers with the ipod nano...help?!

    Hi, I was hoping someone could help me. I have the ipod nano and am planning a party. The room is very long and narrow. I was wondering if I can connect speakers to the nano to reach both ends of the room (about 200 feet long). We really want it as background music. Which speakers should I get?
    I also have a pretty good docking station, can I connect speakers to it? Do they make cords long enough to reach both ends of the room?
    Thanks so much!!!
    ipod   Windows XP  

    You can certainly attach speakers to your nano, but there are a few things to think about:
    1. If you try to run the nano off its battery during the party, you may find that you lose music when the battery runs out. Think about connecting the nano to a charger while the party is going on.
    2. Parties typically get pretty loud. The nano is designed to drive headphones, not speakers, so you are not going to get enough volume just by connecting speakers to the headphone jack. You need to either use powered speakers (less good solution) or feed the nano into an amplifier and connect the speakers to the amp (better solution).
    Enjoy you party! With the "party shuffle" feature, you can enjoy a great mix.

  • Is there a way to make the iPod Nano 7 run smoother?

    I love the iPod Nano. It's great. I've had mine for something like two years now, and I love it. But lately it's been acting up. It connects to my docking station, but if you touch the iPod in anyway, it will immediately disconnect and stop playing music, even though it's still plugged in. Also, sometimes with earbuds, the music will fizzle, crack, or even stop completely. When used with other devices, the earbuds work fine. So, if you have any ideas on how to fix these problems, please let me know!

  • Why does my artwork disappear from my ipod?   It's all visible in itunes, but on the ipod nano it disappears.

    Why does my artwork keep disappearing from my ipod?   It's all visible in itunes, but on the ipod nano it when I copy over new albums with artwork, the artwork on the albums already on the ipod lose theirs, although they retain the artwork if viewed through itunes.
    In case it matters, I don't "sync" my "library".  I have a I have a PC and copy over directories containing albums of MP3 files by dragging them onto the ipod with itunes.  I also tried pulling over only the files and not the directories.

    OK, so I decided that maybe if I "sync" my iPod instead of just copying stuff to it at will, that maybe it would fix the problem.  I did a "restore", wiping out the contents.  I set up a "playlist", and put everything that I wanted on the iPod into the "playlist".   Then I "synced" the "playlist" onto the iPod.  Every song and album now had the proper album art.  I could live with this.   Then I added another album to the "playlist", and "synced".  The new album was now on the iPod with the correct artwork.  The albums that were already on the iPod now either had their appropriate artwork, no artwork, or the artwork from the other albums that were already on the iPod, with no rhyme or reason as to which was which.  AARGH.   I wiped it out and re-added the now-explanded "playlist" and "synced" again, and every album had the right cover.   I guess the only thing to do is completely replace the contents of the iPod any time I want to add or change anything, or forget about artwork.
