Battery life can be as fragile—and end as unexpectedly—as real life. Here’s how to help your iPod battery live long and prosper. When listening to music switch the hold switch to on. Disable the equalizer - go to settings and turn it off. Turn off the backlight by going to Settings and turn it off.  Create playlists so you don't search for tunes constantly. Put your Ipod to sleep when you are not using it.

Another tip to save battery life that the video didn't mention is to make sure that "Sound Check" is turned off. This feature makes it so all your songs are about the same volume, but it also using quite a bit of battery life.
