Itouch batteries

iPhone - Itouch batteries

I have both iPhone and the touch. Lately I noticed that the touch's battery
hardly lasts a day. Anyone deal with this?

The batteries are limited to so many charge cycles before they can hold a full charge so if it is a 1st gen that you have used and charged a lot, the battery could be going. If you are on earlier (2.1 or previous) or beta firmware there could be bugs that are draining the battery. If you have it set to Fetch a frequently or many accounts it could be using power, if you have the brightness turned up and/or not auto, it could be using the battery, etc. There are some many possible configurations, we (assume all) would need more information to help. Personally my touch easily outlasts my phone because I have everything set to manual, brightness is slightly lower, and I don't use it nearly as much.

Yeah, but my ipod didn't last that long either. Right now there's really nothing that can be done other than carrying the charger with you. That's the down side to this otherwise great product. Not being able to change the battery out with a spare scks.
