Tips to maximize your iPod battery life.

An iPod's battery is a lithium polymer. If you recharge your iPod's battery every other day, 500 charges should last you the best part of three years. If you recharge your iPod's battery less frequently, there's a good chance the battery will outlast the hard drive. Here's how to get the longest life possible.

Don't let the battery die completely.

• To get the most life out of your battery, don't let it discharge fully--that is, don't run it until it's dead.

Reduce demands on the battery.

• Play your music by album or by playlist, rather than hopping from one track to another.
• Use AAC or MP3 files rather than WAV or AIFF. Because WAVs and AIFFs are uncompressed and, therefore, much bigger than compressed files
• Minimize your use of the backlight or turn it off completely.
