Although the iPod Nano 8GB may spoil you with 24 hours of play time between charges and 400 charges over the life of the iPod Nano battery, Lithium Ion batteries don’t last forever and at some point you will be faced with replacing yours. Not only can this be expensive but unless you’re willing to do some soldering yourself, you’ll likely have to ship your iPod Nano 8GB off to get the battery replaced. If you’re as attached to yours as I am to mine, this may not bode well with you. However, there are some things you can do to conserve your iPod Nano battery to make it last longer.

Remember, the number one enemy to your iPod Nano battery is heat. Using your iPod Nano 8GB in extreme heat or cold, for that matter, will tax the battery and reduce the life of the charge, meaning you will have to charge it more often, thus limiting the overall lifespan of the battery. While playing your iPod Nano 8GB at room temperature is ideal, temperatures above 95 degrees or below 32 degrees will diminish the life of your iPod Nano battery.

There are also other ways you can extend the life of your iPod Nano battery. For one thing, take advantage of the Hold button and use it any time you’re not using your iPod Nano 8GB. Setting the hold button will prevent other buttons from being pressed, which will conserve the battery. In addition, use the LED backlight sparingly, as this feature also uses up more of your iPod Nano battery.

While the equalizer may make your tunes sound better, it is another drain on your battery so use it sparingly as well. Speaking of playing music, make sure you create great playlists so you won’t have to use the Forward function as often as this, too, will help to drain your iPod Nano battery faster. Shuffling your music, which you can do by simply shaking your iPod Nano 8GB, instead of forwarding through your playlists will ensure that your battery lasts longer.

Obviously, regardless of how careful you are, there will come a time when you need to replace your iPod Nano battery. Unlike batteries in many of today’s gadgets the iPod Nano battery is not user replaceable, according to Apple. For $59 plus $6.95 shipping, you can ship your iPod Nano 8GB to Apple for a replacement. However, for less than half the price, you can get a replacement battery installed in your iPod Nano 8GB that will last twice as long as the one that came with your iPod Nano 8GB.
