When
you see it, connect your iPod to your computer or plug it into a wall charger. If
charging doesn??™t take care of the problem, you might need a new battery.
TIP
For best results, always charge your iPod??™s battery with a
wall charger instead of via USB or FireWire. Sometimes
when the charge is low, your iPod doesn??™t have enough
juice to run its data ports! If the data ports aren??™t working
reliably, you can??™t use them to draw a charge.

Assuming regular use, an iPod battery lasts about a year to a year and a half.
Most iPod batteries are rated at 500 full-charge cycles??”that??™s 500 recharges
after depleting your battery completely. But you probably charge your battery
while it still has some kick, so those 500 full charges work out to about 1,000
to 2,000 partial charges, depending on how much of the charge you tend to
use up.
If you keep seeing the low-battery icon, or if the charge in your battery doesn??™t
last as long as it once did, you should get a new battery for your iPod.
