iPods and battery life

Ipod_originalA personal observation about the battery length of iPods: I bought one of the last 'first generation' models in mid-2003. Today, I still get a full three to four hours from a single charge. Why? I think it's because I don't let it recharge overnight. I'll never recharge it for more than 45 minutes to an hour, whereas others I know simply plug it in when they get home and leave it there. The same principle applies to laptops or mobile phones: don't overcharge it. You'll deplete the battery early. If, however, you can't manage this, iLuv's new i604 battery back-up -- which offers up to 50 extra hours playing time -- might be a solution.
