![]() And although it would be a pain to do so, if you could hook up your battery to a digital multimeter, where you can measure it under "load" conditions (you'd want to measure pre and post charge), the result can clue you into the culprit.Īlso, I have to ask. If a new one fully charges and lasts for a recommended amount of time on a charge, there's your problem. That would go a long way in isolating the problem. ![]() I'd be curious as to where you got it (eBay or Amazon is kinda like Russian Roulette, as far as batteries go better to stick to a bona fide local battery store), and if the seller could/would replace it at no charge. It sounds like you gave it a full charge before first use (I'd charge 8-12 before first use), so I'd think it's somewhat "broken in". has all the indications of a bad aftermarket battery that is, either poorly manufacturered/reconditioned, or, used (not out of the realm of possibility, knowing what I know about retail electronics). You say that it's at "full power", but drops off rather quickly. if your old battery was charging properly before, and it lasted a while (300-500 charging cycles), we could likely rule out the iPod, as well as the charging cable (assuming it hasn't been damaged during the changeover time frame). ![]() Going by what you're saying, I'd suspect the battery, and here's why. ![]() Besides that, there's really nothing you can do, except limiting the viewing of videos, as that is the second biggest drain.Īs long as the unit is properly powering down, it's hard to conceive that there's some sort of non-usage drain going on. With many portable electronic devices, iPod included, the largest battery drain is the display. FWIW, PC293LL indicates either a 6th generation or (more likely) 7th generation video iPod.Īs far as what a user can do, turning off the backlight (or setting it to a very short time) goes a long way. ![]()
