Title: Ipod Battery Replacement
Post by: dmonterisi on December 15, 2004, 11:25:28 AM
so my Ipod battery seems to be running down.  I am getting maybe half the life on my Ipod that I used to get.  Anyone got a site for replacing the battery?  how much does Apple charge to do it?  thanks.

www.ipodbattery.com to get the battery and the instructions.  30 + shipping as opposed to the 100 i think it is for apple to do it.

what gen is the ipod?  if 1st or second, get the newertech 2200maH battery from otherworldcomputing

it'll last like 15-20 hours

i replaced the battery on a 1st ge and 2nd gen with no problems.  it's very straightforward

It looked way too fragile to operate on my gen 3 ipod.

your gen 3 ipod is much stronger than you think it is.  that casing is pretty solid
