Prolonging your iPod's battery life
Sure, you can repair your iPod's battery when you need to, but wouldn't you rather just avoid the issue in the first place? Chris Breen thinks so, and he's offering several tips for keeping your battery healthy and strong for as long as possible. A few of his suggestions I already do, like flicking the "Hold" button to avoid accidental activation, keeping the backlight duration to a minimum and keeping up with software updates.
Other rules I don't follow so religiously, like keeping it charged (I'll go several days without plugging it in) and keeping it warm (it sits in my car sometimes, and here in New England, it's still pretty chilly at night). It's a good list of suggestions. Check it out.
