  is it true that battery will die faster if we charge it often?

  i charge my itouch even if it is only a few bars down.

  I think overcharging it will shorten the battery life faster..

  it's advisable to drain the batt as much as possible before a full charge
  though nowadays they claim tt it's always to charge whenever u like and not affect the batt performance

  If talking about laptops, condition teh battery at least once a week if you are one of those people who always keep laptop plugged in, battery plugged in. Drain the battery fully, then charge. Advisable to do so for mobile devices as well.

  Depends. $100? Depends on the model of battery, and if your laptop has other compatible battery models.

  btw, what is the ideal size for album arts in your itouch?

  i normally choose 300 x 300 x 20 (approx).

  anything bigger is a waste of space.

  Oh, that? Susah to replace bro. Proprietary battery. Apple will need to replace it.

   

  Might as well get a new iTouch or something. The price to replace the battery should be close to a new iTouch. Or $100. I've never heard of anyone needing to replace iTouch batteries.

  Better if only left 1 bar or totally flat.

  apple products tend to be of high quality, so as long as you don't charge it 24/7 im sure it is fine. alternatively, you might want to consider the extended warranty. for me, at the end of the day, the battery is about 40%, i would charge it over night which i think should be fine. normally i would get the higher resolution(600x600 or 800x800) as the picture quality is clearer.

  600 takes up a lot of space.

  its a waste.
