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.
Charge for an additional two hours.
Set the alarm on your iPod to notify you in 30 days so you may repeat this process. Your iPod should receive this conditioning once each month.
Any electronic device is only as good as the battery that runs it, and fortunately for iPod users, Apple has created a series of batteries which, if properly conditioned and maintained, will provide thousands of hours of use.
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.
