How long does it take to fully recharge a video iPod battery?
The iPod is designed to fast-charge the battery to 80 percent of capacity within an hour. However, it can take up to 4 hours to fully recharge a battery. Even in sleep, iPod uses a small amount of current, and the battery slowly empties. Stored at optimal storage temperature, the battery will empty in 14 to 28 days, even if the iPod remains inactive. If you want to get the most out of your batterys life, make sure that you do not charge your iPod while it is in a carrying case or cover. Also, you should charge your iPod when it has been fully discharged, even if it wont be used right away.
