it doesnt matter 8gb or 16gb they have the same battery life, its battery life is like 4-7 hours depending on how you use it... Its battery life isnt even close to what apple claim it to be.

I've used my Sansa for an 8 hour work day turning it off to respond to an occasional phone call, or interruption then turning it back on to resume the music. I've never run the battery down completely and have never had less than 1/3 the battery indicator after listening almost continuously for 8 hours. If I were to guess, I would say the Battery will probably last 12 to 16 hours of continuous use.

normal use being reading and sending e-mails, plus working with word documents, Evernote and browsing? the battery life is around 9 to 10 hours. if however you watch videos and play games, the battery life is around 3 to 4 hours.

When new, the battery life was around 7 hours if used at low power. Intensive CPU or graphics activity would shorten it to almost half, which was remarkably good at the time. Two years on, it has reduced to around &#8532;, which I also find very good. The original Apple warranty lasts for a year, and you could buy the extended plan for two additional years. Don't know if that applies to refurbished units.

Hi there,i'd like to buy a new 8GB mp3, but, i'm confused between the new ipod nano and zune. people say that the 3rd gen nano has a great battery life now, but, i'm discouraged from transferring my music files to itunes and changing the format (i've been using windows media. so, they're mostly in .wma)Is it true that Zune's software is crippled?being an experienced useer, would you recommend zune or nano? =)thanks a bunch!!

The battery life will only fill a little less than 16gb. So if you plan on transfering/deleting videos every time you charge then all you need is the 16.

I get less than 2 hours of use on a full charge (mainly using for internet browsing, email, and playing mp3). The battery also drains when it's not on. I have the 16 GB linux version with advanced desktop enabled. This seems to be common. I think most manufacturers exaggerate battery life a lot, if it's not a flat-out lie. So 2 hours or less of use unplugged with this device is probably the norm, if the manufacturer is saying 3 to 4 hours. My experience with most rechargeable mobile devices is that normal real world use will not get anywhere near what manufacturers state for battery life.

Thats usually the sign. also, 80Gb iPods haven't been made in 7 years, so the battery is way past its expected life.

While I love Amazon and buy lots of stuff, I bought the 8 GB Sansa Clip and had to send it back. Didn't work! I then went to the 4 GB and two of them didn't work! Amazon was great in taking of three of them back. However, I liked the SanDisk and bought one at Best Buy cause I could try it to make sure it worked. I use it every day for about an hour and charge the battery every other week. So, I guess the battery life is about 15 hours.

It's pretty good, I mean the case is pretty good battery wise it'll probably get the iPod from 20% to 100% before it dies, honestly the only thing I found annoying about charging it is that it needs to charge for 5 hours to get the case from 0% to 100% but other then that I recommend the case

This device requires a "player" of some kind (IE: IPOD, MP3, Walkman,....) as it is just speakers with a small amplifier of some kind. *I have been using an IPOD and this lasts about a week on a single charge using it every day for about 2 hours! My IPOD I have to charge every 3 days!! Both of mine work great!!

Battery life on my 6th Gen was about a year and a half, but I had it on almost non-stop.A few months after the battery died the hard drive followed, I'd go with the advice below and plug it in to a battery pack, both of my newish iPods didn't last long after the battery was replaced.I had an iPod from 2004 (Click Wheel) that lasted until 2010, the newer ones didn't even make it a third of that.

I have the Nano but I dont use it for a radio connection in my car or outside of my car. The battery without being plugged in to a vehicle lasts for around 6-8 hours depending on how much the battery has been used before you purchased it.

It holds 4 gigs. That's roughly 48 hours of music -- depending on the song lengths, that's roughly 750 mp3s. If you have a decent sized music collection, you will have to shuffle your music in and out. Now, my iPod Classic holds 160 gigs, which is enough to hold my entire collection, plus about 200 audio books with plenty of room to spare.
