I rported the same behavior when I got my 5th Generation last Fall. Apple replaced it and when it died at 12'%, I decided to just live with it. This is one of those flaws that Apple won't acknowledge. I just make sure to charge mine before it gets down to 12'%. Richard (Sent from Richard's

I know it is meant to auto-shutdown when power is low; but yes, I've had an old iPhone go as low as 7%, I put it on charge then, never left one long enough to see how low it would go. But it needs to retain some charge to hold settings, though it doesn't need a lot, it has to make a

Lithium ion batteries also can't reach a zero charge without causing permanent damage to the battery, so the electronics built into them will shut them down before they reach an absolute zero charge. I'd assume the meter would take this into account though. Have you tried recalibrating the

Hi Richard, I had the same problem when I bought my first iPod Touch which was a third Generation back in 2009. I did basically the same as you which is what Apple support wanted me to do. Then I phoned them back and told them it was still going through the battery like crazy and they asked me to

Hi Sieghard and David, The battery life is pretty good, but the odd part is that it acts as if 12 percent is the lowest it can go. I plan to talk with them about getting a replacement, but you have to go through their hoops first. I just wanted to know if anyone else with the fifth generation

I have had older versions of the IPod touch do the same thing. I don't know if that helps you any. I guess it really means you can't use the last 12% of the battery and now that I think about it, I can understand why that is not so good. On 10/25/12, Richard Turner richard.turne...@gmail.com
