Chosen Solution

Hi, I want to sell an iPod touch (4th generation) - iOS 6.1.6. Potential customers have been asking and I would like to be able to tell them about the battery’s health. How can I check this device’s battery health? Is there an effective yet simple way to do it?

ALREADY TRIED: I tried to download an app but it requires iOS 7.0 or later. If I try to update the device I see the message: iOS 6.1.6 Your software is up to date.

Kind regards,

Use the program called coconut battery for mac. Plug the iPod in and click on the tab that says iOS device. I beleive that will give you the info you need.

My iPod charges 100% on charger but as soon as charge cable is removed the battery sensor goes grey (from green). A few seconds later the iPod goes dead. Ive also used an app which shows battery is fully charged but soon after the iPod goes dead. Has this battery reached the end of life
