Charge the iPod touch battery
iPod touch has an internal, lithium-ion rechargeable battery, which currently provides the best performance for your device. Compared with traditional battery technology, lithium-ion batteries are lighter, charge faster, last longer, and have a higher power density for more battery life. To understand how your battery works so you can get the most out of it, see the Apple Lithium-ion Batteries website.
About charging the battery
The battery icon in the top-right corner shows the battery level or charging status. When you’re syncing or using iPod touch, it may take longer to charge the battery.
If iPod touch is very low on power, it may display an image of a nearly depleted battery, indicating that it needs to charge for up to 10 minutes before you can use it. If iPod touch is extremely low on power when you begin to charge it, the display may be blank for up to 2 minutes before the low-battery image appears. See the Apple Support article If your iPhone or iPod touch won’t charge.
Charge the battery
To charge your iPod touch battery, do one of the following:
Connect iPod touch to a power outlet using the included charging cable and a compatible power adapter (sold separately). See Accessories for charging iPod touch.
Note: Connecting iPod touch to a power outlet can start an iCloud backup or wireless computer syncing. See Back up iPod touch and Sync iPod touch with your computer.
Connect iPod touch and your computer with a cable. Make sure your computer is turned on—if iPod touch is connected to a computer that’s turned off, the battery may drain instead of charge. Look for
on the battery icon to make sure your iPod touch is charging.
Note: Don’t try to charge your iPod touch by connecting it to your keyboard, unless your keyboard has a high-power USB port.
WARNING: If you suspect there may be liquid in the charging port of iPod touch, don’t plug the charging cable into it. For information about exposure to liquid, and other important safety information about the battery and charging iPod touch, see Important safety information for iPod touch.
Turn on Low Power Mode
Using Low Power Mode can significantly increase the life of the battery charge. Switch to Low Power Mode when your iPod touch battery is low, or when you don’t have access to electrical power.
Go to Settings
> Battery.Turn on Low Power Mode.
Low Power Mode limits background activity and optimizes performance for essential tasks like making and receiving calls, email, and messages; accessing the internet; and more.
Note: If your iPod touch switches to Low Power Mode automatically, it switches back to normal power mode after charging to 80%. Your iPod touch might perform some tasks more slowly when in Low Power Mode.
Battery life and charge cycles vary with use and settings. The iPod touch battery should be serviced or recycled by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. See the Battery Service and Recycling website.
