About the iPod classic Battery
iPod classic has an internal, non-user-replaceable battery. For best results, the first time
you use iPod classic, let it charge for about four hours or until the battery icon in the
status area of the display shows that the battery is fully charged. If iPod classic isn’t
used for a while, the battery might need to be charged.
The iPod classic battery is 80-percent charged in about two hours and fully charged in
about four hours. If you charge iPod classic while adding files, playing music, viewing
videos, or viewing a slideshow, it might take longer.
Charging the iPod classic Battery
You can charge the iPod classic battery in two ways:
 Connect iPod classic to your computer.
 Use the Apple USB Power Adapter, available separately.
To charge the battery using your computer:
m Connect iPod classic to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. The computer must be turned
on and not in sleep mode (some Mac models can charge iPod classic while in sleep
mode).
If the battery icon on the iPod classic screen shows the Charging screen, the battery is
charging. If it shows the Charged screen, the battery is fully charged.
If you don’t see the charging screen, iPod classic might not be connected to a
high-power USB port. Try another USB port on your computer.
