iPods, iPods all around, iPhones everywhere. Maximize your energy use, Show the planet you care.
Squeeze the Apple Juice!
These days everyone, including your 75-year-old grandmother, seems to have an iPod or iPhone. By using a few easy techniques you can maximize your device's charge and reduce your energy consumption.
Set the light setting on an iPod Nano to off or to 50% on an iPod Classic, iPod Touch, or iPhone. If you have an iPhone you can further maximize your charge by turning off the wi-fi radio, the equalizer, and by letting it sleep.
Let your battery completely drain before charging it. When you do charge your device, be sure to unplug it once the battery is fully charged because it will continue to consume electricity.
Use an alternative source of energy to charge your device. There are a number of products you can buy that use energy from the sun such as Voltaic System's solar backpacks or Solio's handheld solar battery chargers.
