My battery doesn't charge very well anymore, can i get a new one/

my battery doesn't charge very well, can i get and install a new battery?

Your post say "my battery doesn't charge very well",
Does it goes to full charge after 4 hours, or 1 hour, a battery that goes to full charge in 1 hour, is a dying battery, as it be totally flat in 20 mins. So if you can get your battery fully charge then monitor how long it takes to discharge playing music (36 hours) or video (6 hours)
That will be a measure of the health of your battery, compared to iPod tech Spec.
If your battery can't be fully charged
Are you charging it off a wall charger or via a PC?
Can you try charging via a high power USB 2.0 port, on most Computer there are some low power USB port, that don't have enough juice to charge a high drain device like the iPod.
And it is a NoNO to try charging via a USB Hub or the Mac Keyboard USB port, these do not have the power.
Have a nice day!

  • IPhone 5 charger stopped working. Can I get a new one for free?

    I bought an iphone 5 charger from best buy about a month ago. It just randomly stopped working. I was wondering if I took it to the apple store, would they replace it? Or would I have to buy a new one.

    Hello cas93ey,
    It sounds like you purchased an Apple charger for your phone at another retailer and it has stopped working. According to the following link your Apple charger has a 1 year warranty:
    Your Hardware Warranty
    https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/accessory-english.html
    THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS
    Your Apple-branded hardware product is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the date of original retail purchase ("Warranty Period"). If a defect arises during the Warranty Period, Apple, at its option and to the extent permitted by law will (1) repair the product at no charge using new parts or parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, (2) exchange the product with a functionally equivalent product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (3) refund the original purchase price. This warranty excludes damage resulting from abuse, accident, modifications or other causes that are not defects in materials and workmanship.
    I would first try the steps in the following article before seeking service. If it comes down to that, there is also a link to contact us:
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

  • Battery at 89 percent health -- can i get a new one?

    Hi!
    I have a T61p, and after almost a year, I've noticed battery time is running shorter. I used to be able to keep the computer running for three hours on my settings, but now it runs for about 2h 20 minutes. When I do
    grep -F capacity: /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
    in gnu/linux, I get
    design capacity:       84240 mWh
    last full capacity:      75790 mWh
    which means the battery is at 89.97 % health.
    The battery is still in its warranty period. Is this decrease in capacity enough to get a new one?
    I can't check battery health in windows, as I threw that OS out and can't get it back without ruining my GNU/Linux installation.
    Thanks for help!

    Batteries are consumable items, and the condition you have described is a result of normal wear and tear..... so, no.

  • My MacBook Pro laptop says 'service battery' and doesn't charge very well but my Mac is 5 years old. Is it worth buying a new battery or do you think I should buy a new mac?

    Hi guys,
    I can only leave my MacBook Pro unplugged for an hour maximum and it never seems to fully charge. It says on the Mac to service battery - which I guess means buy a new battery.
    I have had my MacBook for over 5 years now and it does get used probably every day, if not every other. If I brought a new battery would it all work normally again or is it getting old and do I need a new one?
    Also, my charger seems to be playing up a bit now as well. It's seems to be temperamental when I plug it in and takes to while to light up and charge.  I've attached an image of the battery bit on my laptop as the lead seems to be fine - is this normal?
    Thanks in advance guys.

    Is there any application(s) that your current Mac cannot run that only a new can?  Calculate the cost per year of your current MBP and compare that to the cost of a new battery.  Spread the battery cost over a year or two of additional operation, how do the dollar amounts compare?  If the MBP is functioning properly, I generally find it is more cost effective to keep it.
    If the retina display and the SSD storage are very desirable from your perspective, then that becomes a different matter.  You are the one to make the final decision.
    Ciao.

    Not Charge
    - See:       
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • What's going on with ios8... Screen rotate does not work anymore, wifi doesn't work very well anymore and apps are crashing or running slow... Come on Apple sort this mess out

    ssince I updated my iPhone 5s to ios8 ive had nothing but problems...
    first the the screen rotation is not working... Checked the settings and  lock is off.... The wifi is intermittent, some times it works sometimes it doesn't....
    the he iPhone is really slow now, like really labouring.... It hangs and crashes all the time.... I have to close apps down completely because they won't work from quick launch anymore.... Even writing this the phone is labouring.... It's like my old 48k spectrum.... I don't expect this from Apple and when you spend £400-500 on a phone you expect it to work and play propperly....  come on Apple you need to sort out this mess of a update.... Ios 7 was no bother......

    Same issue here... iphone5S 64GB.  It's intermittent.  Sometimes the rotation works fine, sometimes it doesn't, but most of the time it doesn't work.
    The first time I figured out it wasn't working was when all newly-taken photos and videos were showing up in portrait mode though I always hold in landscape mode when photographing.
    Rotation lock is disabled (tried toggling it on and off).  Tried recalibrating the compass on a whim, no effect (although my compass seems to always require calibration when it's launched now).
    This issue only started happening after upgrading to iOS8.  I did a reset/restore through iTunes rather than an OTA upgrade.
    UPDATE - power-cycling the phone seems to fix it temporarily.

  • Can I get a new one for free? ... battery expanding... weird sounds.

    Hi, ive had my macbook pro for about one and a half of a year. It is one of the first ones, so like many other people had, I have problems. first, my battery is expanidng, the middle cell is getting larger, and second my computer always makes annoying sounds. Like a constant very loud for a computer chipping its the loudest computer ive heard. It's not the fans moving faster say when you're doing alot at once, but it's something else. Its like a very fast and loud clicking. Is this enough to get a trade in? The warrenty ended

    elmerglue,
    The only people who can answer your question is Apple and Apple alone. As these are nothing more than user-to-user help forums any answer you receive with regard to whether or not you'll get a replacement will be pure guesswork as none of us are Apple employees. Call Apple. Phone contacts can be found here:

  • My ZTE OPEN Firefox OS 'phone battery needs replacing; where can I get a new one?

    I have been searching the web all morning without success. The old battery model is Li3712T42P3h654246h. It has been short-lived from the beginning but now loses charge within 48 hours even when unused with everything switched off. Has it been superceded perhaps by a different model? Websites don't give dimensions or connector positions so i cannot try alternatives.

    here is a link to buy this battery -

  • My iPod 5 charger broke can I get a new one from Apple.

    I have a iPod 5th generation charger that is bent at a certain point and is critical for charging it. The spot where the wires are connected to the motherboard of the USB. The cable is bent on the USB that goes in the iPod. I've heard that the 5th generation chargers are weak at that spot. And to be honest I didn't buy apple care only because I didn't have enough money. So I don't think there's warranty on the charger. Sorry for the bad description I did the best I could it's really hard to explain.

    The cable is covered by the same warranty that covers the iPod. If the cable is defective and has not been abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

    Depends on which Country in the world you are but if not a warranty claim  US price is $19+ tax for an iPhone
    plug in power pack  .If you actually mean the USB cable that is $19+ tax again in US
    If Apple decide it is a warranty issue ,no charge
