2nd Gen Nano only takes 45 minutes to fully charge on the 1st charge. Is this right?

Just got my son a new nano for his birthday and connected it to the computer. It only took 45 minutes to charge it. Is this right? I thought it takes around 12 hours for the first time.



Thanks to all who answer.

    I think they arrive fully charged, so there wasn't a whole lot of charging to be done.

    not quite they are about +50% charged when they arrive. At least my (precious!) one was!



    40%-50% is apparently the best charge to leave on at to minimise long term degradation.

    Thanks both of you.



    I really like this Nano much better than the 1st one. I like the aluminum case better than the plastic. Seems much more durable. I plan on getting the 8MB black Nano.

    Yeah...mine charged in like 15 minutes. I even called Apple and asked what the heck happened.



    Still running on my first charge since I got it last thursday! Battery is only halfway spent.
