iShopRepair.ca tips for charging your iPod or iPhone Battery!

The first point to note is that Apple iPods and iPhone’s battery charging systems not contain a limiter. Which means it is very possible to over charge your device. So to help you get the most life out of your battery, here is your guide to proper charging practices for your iPod and iPhone by iShopRepair.ca

Whether you’re an Apple iPod user or an Apple iPhone user, the first thing we want to introduce you to is the “Charged Logo!”

iPod, iPhone

This is the logo that will display in the top right hand corner of your iPod when the battery is fully charged. This is the indicator telling you your battery is at full capacity and that your device should be disconnected from the charger. You should reach this charge status in approximately 2 to 2.5 hours into the charge. If you continue to charge your iPod beyond this point, over night for example, you will be over charging your battery and reducing its life expectancy.

The "Charged Logo" can easily be indentified from the flashing "Charging" logo that appears during the charging process. (below)

This is how the "Charging" status icon may appear on older model iPods

Older iPod Models








If you are using a USB charge cable plugged into your iPod or iPhone direct from your computer, you may have to look closely at the charge status logo see when your battery has reached the "Charged" status. If you are using a wall charger, plugged into an AC power outlet, your "Charged" status icon will appear much larger on the screen and be much more obvious. (below)
