I quote from apples website:
"Play all day
With all that music at your fingertips, you may never want to stop listening. Lucky thing your iPod plays audio for up to 20 hours. Or, if you’d rather watch, you can feast your eyes on movies and TV shows for up to six-and-a-half hours."

I used to be a lifty, id listen to music from 8-11ish then watch movies from 11-2ish then listen to music from 2-5ish and it wouldn't die, sometimes id watch movies all afternoon and it wouldn't die. So the stats on apples site is pretty legit.

Apparently the 80gig gets better battery life than the 40 gig, especially for movies. My friend's 80 gig can do about 8 or 10 hours of video whereas a 30gig can only do about 3-4 hours of video.
