When high volume on your ipod, what happens to the battery?

umm,no.these are something’s that kill’s your ipod faster: Do not skip songs - The iPod works by reading multiple songs into the RAM and then turning off the hard drive since the hard drive consumes a significant amount of power; the longer the hard drive stays off the longer the playtime. Playtime is reduced, if the iPod has to keep the hard drive spinning to refill the RAM. If the iPod is given a play list to play and is not touched, playtime will be significantly longer than an iPod that is constantly switching play lists

Turn off the backlight - The backlight consumes some power. If you are in a well-lit room, the backlight is unnecessary and should be turned off. If the light is necessary to read the iPod screen then the light should be set the shortest time required to read the screen.

Turn off EQ - Turn off the EQ in settings screen. The iPod uses power to adjust the EQ for each song so by turning it off saves power.

Turn down the volume - Turning down the volume will lower the power required for the headphones.

Do not use iPod add-ons such as the iTrip or iTalk - While these devices extend the use of the iPod they work by consuming power from the iPod battery. If you must use these devices then you might want to consider the Belkin iPod Backup Battery Pack that will extend the playtime for iPod between charges.

Use compressed songs - The iPod contains 32MB of RAM most of which is used as a buffer for songs. The iPod fills the RAM, and then turns off the hard drive. If you have compressed songs (MP3, ACC) opposed to uncompressed songs (wav) more songs will fit in the RAM allowing for longer playtime before the hard drive must spin up to get more songs for the RAM.
