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 PC, it may take
longer to charge, especially if you are transferring files or playing music.
You can charge the iPod battery in two ways:
In most cases you can charge iPod by connecting it to your PC.
You can also charge iPod by connecting it to the power adapter and a working
electrical outlet.
To charge the battery using your PC:
Connect iPod to a 6-pin FireWire port or high-power USB 2.0 port on your PC
using the appropriate cable. The PC must be turned on and not in sleep mode.
If the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the iPod screen shows a lightning
bolt, the battery is charging.
If you don’t see the lightning bolt, you must charge the battery using the iPod
Power Adapter.
