Get an extended iPod battery life

There are many ways we can conserve battery life which we generally tend to overlook. Lets discuss

Exhausting battery at the time when you really need, is like storing water in your pocket. You end up getting frustrated. So here are few tips to help conserve power and extend your iPod battery life.

Backlight: If your backlight ‘always on’ it will reduce the battery life big time! Learn to use it only when necessary. Also try to use options like alarm carefully, so it doesn’t turn on at certain time everyday resulting in a flat battery. You can check My iPod turns automatically, an interesting article to browse through.

Equalizer: Turning ‘Equalizer on’ also reduces the battery life of your iPod. If you have added EQ to your iTunes you can set it to flat in order to have the effect off.

Fast Forward: Its’ odd that when you fast-forward through your play list frequently your iPod will spin its hard drive to fill the cache. This way more power gets used up. The best you can do is to create more personal folders for direct access to your songs.

Compressed songs:  Average file sizes like less than 9 MB is so much compatible with iPod’s cache. If your audio files are of larger sizes you can compress them or may use a different compression method like AAC or MP3, when importing them into iTunes. This will help extend the battery life.

Hold and Pause:
Keep the iPod on hold when not in use…….don’t waste battery life!
