Hi
I just bought an ipod classic (80 GB) and set it up to charge. It says in the instructions that it will take around 4 hours to fully charge, but my ipod went to fully charged within 2 hours!? While it was charging it got disconnected from the computer one or two times, so has the battery gotten messed up or is this normal ipod behavior?
Thanks

I just drained the battery, till the connect to power message appeared, and put it to charge. It finished charging in about two hours again. (showing the plug sign on the battery health). Could it be a software glitch, where the ipod is actually charging but showing as charged?

Fast charge is supposed to take it to 80% right, what can i do about the remaining 20%? I want it to charge to 100%

Built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery
Playtime: Up to 12 hours when fully charged
Standby time: 1 month when fully charged
Charging via FireWire to computer system or power adapter
Fast-charge time: about 2 hours (charges up to 80% of battery capacity)
Full-charge time: about 4 hours
Charging via USB 2.0 to computer system or power adapter

your are correct!!!
to get the full charge just leave it connected to the source for 4 hours, although it seems to disconnect its still charging:P
btw it doesn't matter if it is a wall or usb charger, its gotta be 4 hours!
