I've had my IPT since January. I rarely use it for video intensive stuff, but I use it a lot for audio books and music, as well as some of its PDA functions.
I've generally had to recharge it about once a week. On Sunday night I charged the device, used it Monday for about an hour of audio and a few minutes of other functions. Monday night I noted the battery life was down to 1/2. On Tuesday morning I went to use it to listen to an audio podcast, and the battery was completely drained.
Also of note, is that I never generally turn my IPT completely off. I usually just leave it on standby.
I called Apple. They told me I needed to turn it off completely at night and needed to drain the battery down to almost nothing at least once a month.
Has anyone else had this issue? The Apple tech also suggested I may need to get the battery replaced if this continues. I was told that battery replacement can be done at an Apple Store. Does anyone know if this is correct?
