Before I forget, let me also mention that like the old Nano 2G’s battery, which lasted around 30 hours. The Nano 4G has also managed something around that. Here’s a detailed report:
- 10:00 – Fully charged, on repeat and shuffle.
- 10:30 – Went to the shops with the iPod. A certain amount of un-Holding and volume changing ensued.
- 17:00 – About 1/5-1/4 of the battery gone.
- 21:00 – Stuffed myself at dinner, had to walk it off, took the iPod. Un-holding and song changing followed.
- 23:00 - Went to sleep – still about half full!
- Next day – 8:15 - Still at about 1/3.
- 10:00 – 24 hours done, about 1/4-1/5 left.
- 13:00 – Dropped to danger zone.
- 16:00 – Dead
So that’s about 30 hours of non-stop playback, with some amount of me fiddling about with it. Which is not bad, considering the advertised battery life, like the old iPod is 24 hours.
The Nano 4G also has a nifty feature called Energy Saver. What it does, is that if you leave the iPod untouched, while playing some music, after some time, it’ll turn off the screen to save energy. I haven’t tested video playback battery life, and I don’t intend to any time soon.
P.S. Now this is a post I could’ve copied…
