50 Using iPod
Charging the iPod Battery
iPod has an internal, non-user-replaceable battery. If iPod isn’t used for a while,
the battery may need to be charged.
The iPod battery is 80-percent charged in about three hours, and fully charged in
about five hours. If you charge iPod while transferring files, playing music or
viewing a slideshow, it may take longer.
You can charge the iPod battery in two ways:
• Connect iPod to your PC.
• Use the iPod USB Power Adapter.
To charge the battery using your PC:
Connect iPod to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your PC. The PC must be turned
on and not in sleep mode.
Note: While songs, photos, or files are transferred using USB 2.0, the iPod
battery loses charge. Transferring songs or files when iPod isn’t sufficiently
charged can cause incomplete transfer, loss of the information being transferred,
and may require a restore (see page 63). It’s best to charge iPod using the iPod
Power Adapter before transferring songs or files.
If the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the iPod screen shows a lightning
bolt, the battery is charging. If it shows a plug, the battery is fully charged.
