In summary, to charge your iPod, you will need to connect it to a power source using the USB cable that came with it. The time it takes to fully charge varies, but on average it can take 2-4 hours. You should only use the original or certified Apple charging cable to avoid damage to your device. It is possible to charge your iPod with a power bank, but it may take longer. Overcharging is not a concern as iPods have safety mechanisms in place to prevent it.

Internally most electronic devices (including the ipod) use DC. The wall wort is an AC to DC converter.

No worries, I can help explain. An iPod is a portable media player that is powered by a rechargeable battery. This battery can be charged by using a USB cable to connect the iPod to a computer or a wall charger. The iPod does not have an internal power supply like a traditional appliance, but relies on the battery for its power source. Hope this helps!
