iPod Nano battery drain results

 by  Donald Bell

CNET Labs finished their panel of battery drain tests for the fifth-generation Apple iPod Nano, and the results are better than expected. Testing for continuous playback of audio and video, the Nano reached an average of 33.6 hours of audio or 5.3 hours of video.

Given Apple's own modest battery rating of 24 hours of audio or 5 hours of video, we expect Nano owners will be happy to know they have a little extra time to squeeze from their iPods

Battery rating is very important for me. Based on my experience, usually, the specs given by manufacturers with regards to battery rating is the ideal one.  That is why it's good to know that the Apple iPod nano battery drain test results conducted by CNET's Labs surpassed Apple's own rating!
