so i;m getting the 2G touch soon (who isn't in this category) and with my 1G nano and ny other ipods i fall asleep listening to music. when i get my touch i want to have a great battery (who doesn't) so my question is: when i have low battery and charge it at night, is it ok to leave it on the charger all niht (midnight-6.30) with music playin while it charges? or will that hurt the battery?



also how long should i charge it once i get it and do i put it on the charger right away or run the battery out and put it on?


any other battery info will be great

THANKS!!:apple:
 
Leaving it on while it's playing music charging is fine, and you want to try and charge as often as you can, if you can't it really doesn't matter but if you can try and charge it whenever the next convenient opporatunity comes along.

It's no problem to leave it charging at night with music on. It usually charges faster if it's not doing anything else but charging.
It's also a good idea to discharge the battery completely once a month to calibrate the battery.
