I just replaced my 1g ipod battery yesterday. I got the battery on ebay for $20, and it's 1600mAh so it should last longer than the brand new stck ipod batteries.

Equalizer: Adding EQs to playback uses more of your iPod processor, since they aren’t encoded in the song. Turn EQ off if you don’t use it. If, however, you’ve added EQ to tracks in iTunes, you’ll need to set EQ to “flat” in order to have the effect of “off,” because iPod keeps your iTunes settings intact.

Can anyone tell me, does listening to the iPod while it is charging affect the battery?

For instance, at work. Since I will be listening to lossless codecs, the battery will obviously drain before my day is over. I work 10hr shifts, so I don't want to go without music for 3-4hrs.

Can I listen and charge the iPod simultaniously? Most importantly, cause I'm sure that is not a problem, how will it affect the battery life?

i dont think its a problem. i recently got a new pair of headphones and used my iPod to burn-in. i plugged the iPod into the power and let it play throughout the entire night. checked it out in the morning and it was still playing. plus it had full power. i guess once the charge cycle is over, its automatically switches to AC power.

Correct, as I understand it, once the charge is complete, the ipod is 100% ac and the battery is idle.

So according to the battery life faq, discharging the ipod completely will drain the battery faster than just short uses. I use my ipod battery at work too, so in that interest I have it on a charger while at work so the battery is not being used. If I'm going to be stationary while listening to the ipod and have access to power, I'll make it a point to be on ac power instead of discharging the battery. Hopefully my battery will last a long time.

In any event, my battery seems to have been restored to full power. After two weeks (since the restore) I am back to getting around 10 hours of play time. The battery indicator stays pegged at full for at least two hours. Perhaps this will relapse to the old behavior in a while, I really cannot say. Maybe the drive was really fragged and the restore makes life easier on the Pod.

Nonetheless, it is something to try if you find your aging iPod losing some juice.
Pat, thanks a lot for this information! It possibly just saved me £30 for a new battery, as my iPod started to drain the charge in less than 2 hours all of a sudden. I've also noticed that the HD was spinning when the iPod was charged from the power adapter. After I've done "restore to the factory settings" my battery is seems to be back to normal capacity, iPod is silent during the charge and doesn't get hot (as it did before the restore).

My G2 iPod's stamina has steadily waned in the twenty two months I've been making it do its thing almost daily. Flying with it a couple times in the past week, I was soon left bored and unsatisfied as it did its narcoleptic routine. I tested it tonight, draining it from a full charge in two hours fifty-four minutes, and that under rather unrealisticly ideal conditions. Not going to cut it.

So anyway, I just ordered a Newer Technology NuPower 2100mAh replacement battery ... I'll let you know if it really does the twenty-plus hour thing. Ooh, I can't wait.

Now I just need to rerip. Must look for threads on the prevailing sentiment so regarding. ...

do any of you know what the life is of the LED lights in the 3rd gen ipods? because if i want to replace the battery instead of getting a minidisc player and then as soon as that happens the light goes out, what would i do? they dont have replacements?
