iPod battery indicator keeps fluctuating...

One minute my battery indicator will be at 2 bars, then ten minutes later, it's down to 0 bars... but then, after another ten minutes, it's back to 2 bars again.

What is going on?

Is this a bug or something?

Thanks.

--EDIT--
New Problem!:

My Notes Folder dissappeard!
I did a 'quick format' on my iPod Drive, then I let EphPod recreate my directory structure, and now my notes folder dissappeared! The only folder that I have now is the 'contacts' folder.

Please help!

Hi Squibbles

I have the same problem with the battery indicator with my new 30Gb. I also had the problem with my previous 20Gb model until a firmware update was released.

So the same probably applies here - wait for a software update!

Its a little thing called a bug?

sometimes during bootup, or cache fill a surge of power is needed, so it might loose a far bars during this time. Two of my friends who have 15gb 3rd Gen iPODs have also expierenced this problem.

It should/will be addressed in the new firmware update ( whenever that'll be ).
