iPod iPod!! faulty??

[mauly]

When I charge my new 5g iPod..... the indicator says its fully charged! but, when I disconnect it, the indicator drops ever so slightly... I have restarted the iPod as well as restoring it... but it keeps doing the same!?

Is this a faulty iPod!? or will it sort its self out in time!!?

the battery indicator on the iPods are notoriously off. Use it as a rough estimate (like if it's halfway full, the charge is around 30-70% kind of thing), don't take it at face value my iPod mini often runs for another 4 hours or so with what appeares to be a completely empty battery icon.

If you feel you want to do something, then try calibrating the battery by completely discharging the iPod then completely recharging it.

Mine does the same thing. My 4th gen click wheel did too. It is normal to see this. I now have mine hacked with iPod Wizard so it gives me battery life in percentage. It is more accurate too.
