Condition an iPod Battery - Apple iPod View

Condition an iPod Battery - Plug your new iPod into a computer or docking station. Allow it to charge until the battery registers as completely full. Keep in mind that this may take several hours, since an iPod will charge quickly to 80 percent but will then charge under a trickle charge.

Disconnect your iPod from the computer and drain the battery down to 20 percent quickly using applications such as games or videos that use a lot of power.
Charge your iPod back up to 80 percent charged, then trickle charge to 100 percent.

IPods use a lithium-polymer battery that doesn't require the standard discharge/charge cycling common to nickel batteries. Conditioning an iPod battery is fairly simple once you understand how lithium-polymer batteries work. All llithium batteries have a finite number of charges and discharges; according to Apple, a properly maintained iPod battery will still function at 80 percent battery capacity after 400 full discharge and charge cycles.
