Battery question not found in FAQ
When using the iPod w/ AC power, does the battery HAVE to charging? With a lithium it's not good to keep it at full charge all the time but I don't want to run it off battery power if I can help it especially with my home system. Guess I just gotta keep an eye on the power level. Kind of a pain.- Fred
