my ipod touch 5th gen battery life drains fast

I too am discouraged by the 2 hours of battery life and looking for solutions. Is Apple the only placed licensed to install new batteries. Are there some batter batteries installable by other by other services?

I have the model with lower storage (16 or 32GB?). Would model life be the greater storage (32 or 64GB?) bring with it longer battery life?

I have large streaming apps from Amazon, Apple, and the iTunes app? Would eliminating 2 of these help? (I admit that I simply have to run my iPod bright to enjoy it.)

So far, the the best solution I've found is a portable charger--preferably 5000 mAH or more for 2 complete charges.

The would be very very little increase in battery life with a lower capacity iPod.

Streaming drains the battery a lot. However, if yo are not using the app deleting the app will do nothing regarding battery life.

Manth third-party places will replace the battery. Doing so voids any warranty yo have on the iPod.

Well, iPod touch 5th generation battery life ***** more than the Apple Watch 5 hr. heavy usage. You can kill the battery of the iPod touch in 1 hour. I tried that on my iPod touch 4th generation. I used it, so I know it.

I calculated one day and i got 4.5 hours till 20% with a mix usage of facebook about 2 hours , games about 2 hours and online video or app store downloading half an hour , i have ios 8.3 and my battery gets fully charged after a charge of 2 or 2.5 hours !! I dont know if my battery gives me the right time , so plz reply and help ! By the way i charge once a day and its enough !!

Your battery needs to be replaced. I bought one used on ebay and noticed that it charged VERY quickly and that made me very suspicious about the battery being any good. I lived with it for a few months and finally did a $20 battery repair service from another ebay seller and the battery is about 4X better than it was. I could get maybe 2.5 hrs of usage out of it now I'm at 5.5 hrs usage at 36% battery life left so there is your answer.

I had this problem too. I have an IPod Touch 5th generation for less than one hour and then it shows 20% battery life. When I charge my iPod Touch, it had some battery power left. I think it looks like that I might need to change the battery on my IPod Touch. I chat with an Apple Technician and the person said I have to go to an Apple Store to have my battery checked.

I am facing the same problem. I bought a used iPod, which drains battery like crazy. Does replacing the battery help? Also, buying it and fixing it on your own - is that easy?

And the battery (new, as they claim it to be) on eBay, is that a good/ authentic (?) one?

Please help, thanks
