Battery Performance Test (Honest Assessment) The iPod was fully charged and subjected to a controlled battery stress test to assess its real-world performance. Continuous music playback was run with the screen brightness set to maximum, the display configured to remain always on, and volume set to maximum with headphones connected.
Under these maximum power-draw conditions, the device ran continuously for approximately 3 hours and 50 minutes before the battery was fully depleted.
When new, this model was originally rated by Apple for up to 14 hours of music playback under normal usage conditions (screen mostly off and moderate settings).
Based on the stress-test result and expected performance scaling, the battery is estimated to provide approximately 11–13 hours of playback under normal use, representing roughly 80–90% of its original capacity.
Considering the device is approximately 18–19 years old, this is very good battery performance for its age. The battery remains stable, functional, and suitable for normal daily use, with no sudden shutdown or instability.
