Correct Way to Charge an iPod? 107

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday December 30, 2003 @05:31PM from the proper-care-and-feeding dept.

JAHA wonders: "I've seen two schools of thought regarding the proper method for charging an ipod so as to maximize the lifetime of the battery: let the iPod completely drain before re-charging; or keep the iPod completely charged as often as possible (i.e. leave it charging while you listen to it if you can). There doesn't seem to be any official word from Apple on their website, so I was hoping the smart people here could clear it up for me." For those looking for a definitive resource on the proper care and feeding of your iPod batteries, try this site.

More on memory effect:

It is noticed on Earth satellites that spend very regular cycles in sunlight/charging and darkness/discharging. If you listen to your Brittany Spears songs for EXACTLY 30 minutes, then charge your iPod, repeated for a few weeks, you'll get a memory effect. I doubt that many people would do that.

Not me, that's for sure. There's no way I could limit my Brittany to just 30 minutes. She's the best!

However, in addition to the memory effect, you will suffer from an even stronger lack of taste effect.

Only on Slashdot could a thread meant to simplify things end up confusing the issue!

That's not stealing. It's "Possession Infringement".

Ask Slashdot, and you get 1000 geeks posting conflicting answers they "know" to be correct, all with conflicting "supporting evidence" from people that "know" it is correct.

Way to go.
