Hello,
I have the first iPod model with 5gigs and version 1.1 updater on it; I have installed sftware update 1.3 to gain from AAC compression and clock, calendar...
To my surprise, the iPod doesn't hold a day with full charged battery..
Could you please tell me what I should try to do? Do i have to go back to software 1.1?
Thanks for your advises.

Are you saying that even without the iPod on or playing it won't hold a charge?

If so, you could be in luck. If you call Apple and tell them that, you may actually be able to get a replacement, Apple's been known to replace ones having battery issues, since the battery problem is pretty common. Good luck!

It is not 1.3. I have a first gen 5 giger too and 1.3 has not adversely affected battery life in anyway.

Good luck.

Hello AssassyN, Hello Cambro,
I'll try to drain the battery completely after a full recharge; maybe that could fix up something..I am glad to know it's not version 1.3 which causes my problem though.
thank you.

there's always the restore option, which is worth a try. you can deal with apple, but mess with it a lot first (my recommendation). definitely drain and refill the battery, definitely restore the sw to factory settings (with 1.3).

i'd bet on the restore.
i'm on 1.3 on a 5gig og one and i've no problems. battery life is the same great stuff i've gotten since 1.2.6...

good luck.

It's so good to have so much help from you guys. you're all great. Thank you.
