Question: What Happens When an iPod Battery Totally Runs Out?
Many iPod users have likely seen the red battery icon on the iPods that tells them they’re running low on juice and need a charge soon. Fewer, though, have let their iPod batteries run all the way down. But how big a deal is that? What happens when an iPod battery totally runs out?
Answer: How big a deal it is depends on how much time you have and whether you’ve synced content recently.
When an iPod battery totally runs out, all content – music, movies, podcasts, photos, etc. – gets deleted from the iPod and the iPod goes into a non-functional mode.
The next time you connect the iPod to your computer, you’ll have to set the iPod up again as if it was brand new. As long as all the content from your iPod was backed up on your computer, this is annoying, but not serious. You’ll need to recreate all your settings and then wait for your content to sync to your iPod again.
If you had things on your iPod (maybe apps on an iPod touch or video on the 5th generation iPod nano) that weren’t yet synced to your computer and let the battery run all the way down, they’ll be deleted.
That’s a good reason to keep your battery charged, I’d say.
