Charging the iPod Battery
iPod has an internal, nonremovable 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 two hours, and fully charged in about
four hours. If you charge iPod by connecting it to your computer, it may take longer to
charge, especially if you’re transferring files or playing music.
For more information about charging times under various conditions and
configurations, go to www.apple.com/support/ipod.
You can charge the iPod battery in two ways:
• If you have a Mac, you can charge iPod by connecting it to your computer. If you
have a Windows PC, in most cases you can charge iPod by connecting it to your
computer.
• You can also charge iPod by connecting it to the power adapter and a working
electrical outlet.
To charge the battery using your computer:
n Connect iPod to a 6-pin FireWire port or high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer
using the appropriate cable. The computer must be turned on and not in sleep mode
(some models of Macintosh can charge iPod while in sleep mode).
If the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the iPod screen shows a lightning bolt,
the battery is charging.
