How to check battery performance?

[Akhilpo]

I bought an iPod touch a month ago. I think it's very weak on battery.
So anybody know any easy way to test the battery life?

Have you been playing a lot of 3D games on it? If so, that might be the cause of the problem. 3D games suck battery life like vampires.

There doesn't seem to be an easy way to immediatley determine if the battery is bad; but you can do it by fully charging your ipod, leaving it on shuffle, and timing how long it takes to go flat.

Oh yea, what he said too.

Also turning down the brightness helps.
And kill the wifi when you're not using it, that drains a nice chunk of power too
