What nobody seems to want to tell us with new devices, and rechargeable batteries, is what to do at the outset, it isn't in the hand book or anywhere, so if others didn't share their knowledge, we'd never get to know, or that's how it appears to me.
When I first got the Touch, and connected it to my laptop, it showed battery as 79% charged, so before using it, I let it fully charge. It now seems that the thing to have done was to actually drain it? Even though there was no music or anything on there to play to allow it to drain!
I did ask on list at the outset about what to do for the first charge, but nobody said anything about draining the battery to start with, just that it perhaps didn't need the full 15 hour charge new devices use to require.

I think two or three full discharge cycles should do it with the lithium polymer batteries these days.Regards.
