Can I enable battery percentage on my iPod touch 4th generation running iOS 5.1.1 without being jailbroken?

Sorry, that isn't available on the iPod Touch.

Probably. Find a battery app in the App Store and download it.

Don't jailbreak it.

Here's a neat little trick on non-jailbroken iOS to have the battery percentage read to you:

Battery Percentage: iOS and Mac

(Note that I am a representative of the organization of the above link, which is not endorsed by Apple).

You can enable battery % on ipod touch 4g without jailbreaking it you can use backup bot for itunes. Thats how i enabled it on mine. Step 1: goto http://www.icopybot.com/ibackupbot_setup.exe download and install it if you have windows. Step 2: Next create a backup of your device in iTunes and then CLOSE iTunes (or else you may run into problems later on) do not lock the backup with a password. Step 3: Open iBackupBot. Click the backup you just made Next click "Path" to sort by Path. Step 4: Look for Library/Preferences/com.apple.springboard.plist and double click it. On the registration screen that comes up, hit cancel. Step 5: Find <dict> and create a new line after it. Then add this:

<key>SBShowBatteryLevel</key>

<true/>

Step 6: Hit CTRL + S or just the save button at the top left corner of that editor window. Now close the window.

Step 7: Right click that same backup you just edited

Step 8: click restore

Step 9: Done! If you don't see the changes, reboot your iPod.

Enjoy I hope you found this useful!

would that reduce my battery life? cause i have done it and it works but is it going to reduce my battery life?

Your device won't display it bt there is a way to get around this!

Settings

General

Accesability

Triple click home, toggle voice over

Then when you want to know the percentage triple click and tap the battery icon. Simples! The man then reads the exact percentage!

It shouldn't reduce your battery life.

Good man Lester1234, thank you!
