-- Posted by Lulamae at 10:59 am on April 30, 2008 I just got an ipod shuffel and was wondering how long I should let it load. I mean, it says that the battery is full, but there's some urban myth about neding to leave new equipment on the power for 24 hours, or it'll ruin the battery. The battery went bye bye after a year with my old ipod, so I'd love some help. It's been on the power for about an hour and a half -- Posted by Tavis at 11:00 am on April 30, 2008 Key word, 'Urban myth' It doesn't matter, as far as I'm concerned. -- Posted by mOO mOO at 11:06 am on April 30, 2008 They always say that but meh. I have used it things after an hours charge so. I would not bother. -- Posted by Crazy snake at 11:09 am on April 30, 2008 Thats just an myth. Give it like 4 hours and you're ready to go
