The battery life of your iPod is definitely diminishing
and eventually you are going to have to get the iPod battery replaced.

In order to fix your iPod Nano 2G by replacing the battery, you would either have to take it to an authorized repair service or if you are a daring do-it-yourselfer, you can purchase an installation kit from a website like kokopellimusic.us, who offers such battery replacement kits, complete with tools and instructions.

Link: Purchase Replacement iPod Battery Kits

Be forewarned however- Kokopelli Music does not recommend installing the iPod Nano 2g (2nd Generation) iPod battery without an experienced tech to install it, because the battery is actually soldered to the main board of the iPod.

However, there is also MilliAmp, which is a great online service, who for a small nominal fee, will allow you to send in your iPod and their professional technicians would actually replace the battery for you.

Here is the link for that online service for getting your iPod Nano 2G battery replaced.

Hope this will help.

I lost a indicator light on my mobility scooter and now the battery runs out quickly

Are you losing battery fast with your electric scooter? What a pity! It should have been hard for you to run out of juice in a middle of a commute or lose steam just when you are about to have fun. Such is the downside of electric scooters, electric cars, electric motorcycles, and electric mobility devices that are powered by rechargeable battery. They seem to have the power of a flashlight, but as rechargeable devices, they should have more power than a flashlight. How could you be losing battery fast? You now at least relate to other motorists whose vehicles give away in the middle of the road, and without a refilling station or repair shop in sight.

Why you're losing battery fast

Why is your electric scooter losing battery fast? Something might be wrong with the battery pack or that something in your unit is rapidly depleting your power source. Maybe your charger is defective or not powerful enough to charge your e-scooter. Or the way you operate your unit over certain terrains could be the reason why your unit is losing battery fast. You cannot just say your retailer have sold you an e-scooter with a defective battery.
Done charging but your electric scooter does not start? What if it has no power at all? Think your e-scooter has been properly charged? There might be a broken or loose connection or two in your unit.
Limited power for short distances only? The battery could be faulty or has incomplete charge cycles. Or you either have a defective charger or an old battery. As a battery ages, its capacity decreases, as you should know. If you have the same battery for years, there is no wonder why your e-scooter is losing battery fast.
Charging done for the full required time (usually 6 to 8 hours), yet the electric scooter is still not indicating a full charge? You may have a faulty charger or a bad battery. You should also be wary about a battery that charges faster. If it takes long for an electric car to fully charge, how much more an e-scooter? Anything could be behind your unit losing battery fast.

Battery information

When you buy an electric scooter, be it be a two-wheeler or three-wheeler, always check the specs of the battery pack. Pay attention to the battery voltage and amp hours (AH), not just the chemistry (lithium-ion, sealed lead acid, or lithium-polymer).
Batteries of e-scooters are typically configured in 24V, 36V and 48V. Higher voltages e-scooters are generally faster, but there are factors that could affect performance, notwithstanding battery power, such as rider weight, terrain, and the efficiency of the unit's motor and drive system. One or two of these factors could be behind your e-scooter losing battery fast.
AH is as important as voltage. AH is the measure of battery capacity, an indicator of an electric scooter's range.
One three-wheel electric scooter (on a 300W motor) goes 12 mph and travels a maximum distance of 15 miles per charge of a 36V 7AH battery. Another three-wheeler (on a 250W motor) attains a top speed of 12 mph and a maximum range of 28 miles per charge of a 48V 10AH battery. A two-wheel electric scooter (1000W motor) goes 24 mph and has a maximum range of 10 miles on a single charge of a 36V (three 12 V) 12AH battery. Another two-wheeler (350W motor) has a 36V 10AH battery that ramps up a maximum speed and range of 18mph and 15 miles, respectively, on a single charge. Different electric scooters, different battery specs, different performances. Results may vary.
Knowing your e-scooter's battery (and the other components) is knowing your e-scooter well. That way you will have an idea why your unit is losing battery fast-and how you can troubleshoot it.

How not to lose battery power quickly

As owner, you can do preventive maintenance to avoid losing battery fast and ensure optimal performance of your electric scooter.
  • If your e-scooter has no power after a required full charge, check for any broken or loose connection. Remove the top or deck to reveal the wiring. Inspect the battery pack, switch, brake lever, throttle, and controller. Unsure? Take your unit to the retailer or service shop for check-up.
  • Give your battery a full charge. This will help your electric scooter avoid losing battery fast. Most batteries of e-scooters take up to 8 hours for a full charge. However, do not overcharge for more than 12 hours as this could possibly damage the battery. Charge your unit according to the required duration as specified by the manufacturer.
  • You can prevent losing battery fast by simply replacing it. Replace battery if you begin to notice a gradual decline in charge life. Moreover, replace an old battery with a new one.
  • It is also possible that newly installed batteries could rapidly lose their storage capacity. Have a licensed technician perform a battery test to determine current capacity. Avoid losing battery fast with professional assistance.
  • Don't leave battery uncharged for a long time. Any battery that is left uncharged for over six months becomes defective. You won't be able to successfully recharge a battery that is left uncharged for months. Charge before storage, and when in storage, charge every 30 days.
  • How to know if your battery is getting charged? Check for the indicator light on the charger. If it does not illuminate, battery is not getting charged. Get yourself a new charger.
  • Test your charger's output Voltage with the use of a multimeter. The output voltage should be a few volts above the charger's rated voltage (24V, 36V, 48V). If output voltage is zero or below the rated voltage, charger is defective.
  • Faulty charger port could be another reason why your electric scooter is losing battery fast. Test your e-scooter's charger port by plugging the charger into the port. Look for an illuminated indicator light on the charger. If indicator light illuminates once the charger is plugged into the e-scooter, this means the wires and wiring connectors going to the charger port are in good condition. The charger port is working properly.
  • You can also perform a battery test while operating your e-scooter to see how it is losing battery fast and how long the battery lasts. Give your battery a full charge first, and then drive at full throttle on flat terrain. Most e-scooters will have a range around 30-50 minutes on flat terrain. Battery is already worn-out and in need of replacement if it lasts less than 30 minutes.
  • Another way to check if your e-scooter is losing battery fast is to test the battery voltage, same way you test your charger's voltage with the use of a multimeter. The battery should be above its rated voltage level even if it has been in storage, has been driven or fully discharged and sits for a few minutes. If not, battery may be worn-out or defective. This calls for replacement.
  • Do not attempt extreme stunts with your electric scooter or risk losing battery fast. Though many e-scooters are durable and built to support heavy weight, the metal frames, wheels, and other components are unable to withstand extreme riding activities.
  • Do not drive e-scooter over water or else your unit will start losing battery fast due to battery's contact with water. If you do ride through water, dry unit and battery completely before storage.
  • Do not drive over uneven or rugged terrains. Though some e-scooters are designed for off-road use, uneven or unpaved surfaces can still cause stress on the parts and components. Drive without care over challenging terrains and your electric scooter will start losing battery fast.

Casio ecr change battery

Depends upon the model. Some are internal rechargeable, and some are AA batteries near the paper rolls. If you replace the batteries, always leave the power ON with screen lit up as you change them so you don't lose your program.

Replace the battery in my onboard jump pack mine will not hold a charge

No Photo No Model No Brand listed in inquiry.
Basically you keep the jumper cables separated because these packs can hold large amounts of electrical power. Bagging them and taping them is effective. Duct tape works.
Remove screws and dont lose them. The case or shell opens like a clam shell. Be careful because some parts or circuit boards may not be screwed down and come out of their slots when its opened.
You will find one of several batteries inside.
There is a 7 amp hour to about 20 amp hour battery inside depending on how big and how high quality the jump box is. Remove the battery
Find a battery supply place like our Meridith Battery in Cranberry 16066 or Batteries Plus near 15234 and take your old battery with you... you will need it to trade in.
The car parts stores dont have these. Battery supply places, Granger, Interstate, and other full service battery facilities will carry these.
PowerSonic, Yuasa, Panasonic, CSB, Deka, Rocket, Exide, Johnson Controls are all main line brands in this catagory of battery.
Newark Electronics, Granger, and Ebay all have these as standard fair. This is not a walmart advance autozone napa item.
Install in the same manor you took it apart being very very careful not to short anything or put anything in the wrong spot. Charge 24 hours before use.
DONE

Rechargeable batteries fail if stored for long periods in a flat state.

If the cell phone battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries will fail if stored in a discharged state for long periods.

Battery will not charge

li-Ion batteries have a bad habit: whenever fully depleted, they lose a few cells, to the extent that they might not be able to hold a full charge if enough cells are damaged. In other words, repeatedly using a laptop (or any other Li-Ion powered device) to battery depletion can shorten the battery's life significantly. You might want to keep the batteries fully charged whenever possible and avoid fully depleting them too often.
There is also the habit of "re-setting" the batteries by using the "fully deplete-fully charge" procedure. It only applies to niMH or NiCD batteries ( and is used to erase the "memory effect" ) but is damaging to Li-Ion batteries for the reason mentioned above.
so if your battery can not full charge,this mean you need change a new battery for your laptop

How long does battery last

It depends upon the Amp/Hr rating and the age of the battery.
If the laptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, until they won't charge up at all.
If the battery appears to be fully or nearly fully charged and you remove the power adapter and if discharges to flat in a short time then the battery is worn out and needs to be replaced.

My Compaq nc6220 only starts up when the ac adaptor is plugged in. I think the battery needs to be replaced. does this sound right ?

To check if the battery is charging go to Control Panel - Power Options - Power meter. If it shows unknown or zero charge then the battery is faulty or worn out. Rechargeable batteries have only a finite amount of charge and discharge cycles and over a couple of years use they lose their full amp hour charge capacity.
