Apple representatives confirmed that the settlement to a class-action lawsuit brought by customers over claims that the company misrepresented the capabilities of the iPod’s rechargeable battery was being appealed, though the company said it had not filed the appeal.

A notice posted on the iPod Settlement Web site says the appeal was filed on October 24, 2005 in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo.

As a result, settlement benefits will not be provided unless and until the appeal is resolved. This process, the Web site notes, could take an extended period of time (up to a year or more).

The settlement was approved by a San Mateo, California County judge in late August 2005, offered users several forms of compensation including a store credit, voucher, partial compensation for a battery replacement if one has been made already, or extended warranty coverage — depending on the age of the iPod and the particular circumstances.
