Your observation #1 is not abnormal. Temperature changes and other things can cause the low-level "alarm" to come on and off.

I do not understand your second question. It sounds like your charge (load?) overnight and it is at 100% (fully charged) in the morning when you then start the Twitter app. After five minute (what is still on charger?) What is it reloads?

Well, i dont think that my first problem is normal when that ten times happen...

So, i charge my iPod over the night. When i start on the morning to do my normal thing with the ipod, the ipod is still at the cable und charge. so but after the night, the ipod is full but after 5 minutes of "playing" with the ipod, i charge the battery again. and i wasn't split from the charger.

I do not understand when you say "i charge the charge the the battery again? It appears that you are already connected to the charger so how can it charge again? Are you saying that initially the iPod shows a full charge (and is not charging) and after five minutes of use the iPod now says that it is charging?

That really does not sound unusual to me. When you are using the iPod the battery will start discharging. Therefore, if it is still plugged in I do not think it would take long to discharge enough to cause the iPod to star charging again.

I would monitor how long a full battery charge lasts since, while not really unusual, the two observations might point to something that is a little off.
