Charging the iPod mini Battery
iPod mini has an internal, nonremovable battery. If iPod mini isn’t used for a while, the
battery may need to be charged.
The iPod mini battery is 80-percent charged in about an hour, and fully charged in
about four hours. If you charge iPod mini while transferring files or playing music, it
may take longer.
For more information about charging times under various conditions and
configurations, go to www.apple.com/support/ipod.
You can charge the iPod mini battery in two ways:
• Connect iPod mini to your computer.
• Use the optional iPod USB Power Adapter.
To charge the battery using your computer:

Connect iPod mini to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer. The computer
must be turned on and not in sleep mode (some models of Macintosh can charge
iPod mini while in sleep mode).
If the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the iPod mini screen shows a lightning
bolt, the battery is charging.
If you don’t see the lightning bolt, iPod mini may not be connected to a high-power
USB 2.0 port. Try another USB port on your computer.
