The 2nd generation iPod minis no longer came with a FireWire cable or an AC power adapter, which were left out to reduce the selling prices of the new iPod minis. iPod mini batteries, like many Lithium Ion batteries, run down to 80% capacity after 400 full charge cycles.[2] A proprietary dock connector was provided on the bottom of the device for a connection to a computer’s USB or FireWire port. The unit’s battery could be charged during connection. Along the top it had a hold switch, a headphone jack, and a remote connector for accessories.
