| is the ipod battery this crappy? I just got a 15 gig ipod after lusting after them for the last 6 months. I love everything about it except the battery. I'll fully charge it on my computer and after 20 minutes I'm down to 3 bars on the battery. Then after about an hour it will alternate between 2-3 bars, and it will be down to half less than two hours in. The lowest it's gone down is to 1 bar after about 3 hours at the most. It even does this when the light is turned totally off. Doesn't this seem pretty lame for a device that costs $400.00, or do I just have a lemon? What are the rest of you experiencing? Thanks, Maurice  |

| Wow. My original 5 gig iPod lasts days, and plays for hours. Sounds like your battery is bum. If it's under warranty still, tell Apple.

| Yeah, that isn't normal. My new 30 gig one will last for days or play for a good 6 hours or so (I like the EQ & listening to it loud  ). So will my old 5 gig iPod.

| Turn it back to Apple and they send you a new one. It happened with me: the batery of my 10 GB iPod did't last one hour, after fullly charged. I send it to my Apple reseler and after a while they gave me a new iPod (but only the iPod, the chargerm the firewire cable and the phones were the same)

| Also, which firmware version are you using? There were battery issues before some of the later updates. |
