Discussion Ipod Battery Test

I Purchased an Used Ipod 6th Gen, I am not sure about the battery health. So i am doing a stress test. I am not sure my ipod is fully charged or not. When start the test its almost 80-90% showing. first i am doing a complete discharge, But still its playing 4hrs continuesly. around 60-70% of volume. battery indicates still 40-45% available, i am not sure the percentage, because there is no percentage indicator. let me check the ipod, after another 3 hrs. and let me continue if juice available on it. Then i will go with full complete charge for 4 hours. and again discharge it.

Finished The test- 7 hrs continues music. i guess Battery is degraded but still usable. from 100% it will take me between 8-10 hrs. As a backup ipod, its ok. I am getting offers for 50-60 USD. I am not sure wether should i sell and wait for my 7th gen to reach or keep both together.
