Does my iPod need a new battery?

My iPod, when the battery is fully drained takes forever to start charging. When plugged in to charge, it keeps flashing the "sad iPod icon." It takes a almost a whole day to >START< charging, could this be a sign that my iPod's battery is finally giving out or is just broken?

Apple will do it for $79.
A third-party place like this one is less expensive. Google for more.

  • My Ipod need a new battery. Where should I send it?

    So I've had my old Ipod classic for about five years. (I got it in eighth grade and I have now graduated high school) And now the battery is at a point where it barely is able to hold a charge anymore. My question is how much does it cost to get the battery replaced and what is the address that I should send it to so that it can be fixed? I'm sorry if this isn't making much sense. It's nearly midnight right now and I am fighting off sleep.

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    You can see the cost here. You can send it to an Apple Store or an authorized reseller

  • Does my iphone need a new battery?

    I bought an iPhone for £130 + £4.10 P&P from Ebay.
    I have just downloaded ibackupbot and it says this:

    DesignCapacity: 1430
    FullChargeCapacity: 1223
    Status: Success
    is that bad? good? how can I make the full charge do what's it's designed for? have I bought a messed up iPhone?
    the battery is draining pretty fast, I tweaked everything that I could and only had wifi on but still going down pretty quick!!!!
    help??!?!?!?!?!?!

    anyone?

  • Why if I need a new battery will apple erase all my iPod files??

    I don't understand why this is. Why when the Apple store guy told me I needed a new battery and I asked him "So all my files on the pod will be there when I get it back from you guys" did he say "No, it's going to be a NEW iPod"....WHAAA? Why is it new? Why can't they just fix MY iPod and send it back to me with the files intact? The battery shouldn't have anything to do with the hard drive files. It makes no sense, and I have a wonderful iPod classic 80 gig that's pretty much useless to me on the go, unless it's plugged into a charger.

    Well Jeff, the blame for a new battery can be placed on my boyfriend. We were discussing a program for sucking the songs of one Ipod in order to put it on another (like what Yamipod does) because he had done it before, with a friend of his, but he didn't know what program his friend had used. Rather than call the friend an ask (God forbid!) he went out to Target, bought a crappy 20 dollar waste-of-money program in a crappy box called Tune Tools, and then when all was said and done, the program didn't work, and now I'm out a battery. Funny, because he also hooked up my old 15 gigger and his 60 gigger and they're just PEACHY. Of course because I use this pod like it was my oxygen supply, it's all jacked up. Now I'm so upset by this news of losing all my stuff (even though DB has generously offered to replace my pod as he SHOULD) I don't want to do anything at all but just use my old 15. The 80 gig works just FINE as long as it's plugged in to a charger, but the minute you remove it, 10 seconds later it dies. Which makes me being able to watch movies or show friends photos on the go...an impossibility now. Yes, I can use Sharepod (what we found AFTER this debacle to work just fine) and get my stuff back on my pod, but I also have to get some stuff off my father's mac, as I used it and iTunes way before I got this Dell. I'm just heartsick I guess. Blah.

  • Macbook shuts down without charger plugged in, does need a new battery or is it something else? thx

    My macbook works with the charger plugged in but even when it shows it charged without the charger it shuts down. Does it need a new battery or is it something else. How do i check battery life?

    It probably needs a new battery. Check your battery info by clicking the Apple menu and select about this Mac, then either click more info or system report depending on which version of OS X you're running.

    Hi,
    Try resetting your iPod:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430. 
    If that doesn't work, try restoring it:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414. 
    If all else fails, you will have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. 
    Hope this helps!

  • 2008's MacBook Pro needs a new battery?

    Hi!
    My client said his four years MacBook Pro's old battery doesn't last long these days -- about 20 minutes and then shuts off. No warnings or anything. Even the status show 25% battery power left. Does this old MBP need to get a new battery or need to reset/fix the charge status? If it just needs a reset/fix, then what's the best/correct way to do that? Also, Mac OS X 10.5.8 has all the updates. If it needs a new battery, then what's the best place to get a new one in Los Angeles/L.A. or Orange County/O.C. area? From a local Apple store?
    Thank you in advance.

    Or any Apple Store. Fry's, Radio Shack and Costco won't have them. Best Buy does, but speaking for myself, nothing could induce me to buy anything there.
    Thank you. Is there a specific battery model to buy for this old MBP? Hmm, maybe it is just easier to go to a local Apple store and get a battery replacement and to get help (especially when bringing in the old MBP) from one of the Apple store guys (hopefully, expired AppleCare won't matter).

  • Mac needs a new battery, servicing and wiping.

    Hi Guys,
    My old Mac needs a new battery as it is literally on its last legs, it also needs to be serviced and wiped as I no longer use it. Im going to take it to the genius bar to get this done.
    However before doing this I am looking at saving all of my itunes folders and emails onto a hard drive. I understand how to do my Itunes but not too sure regarding emails? any help with this would be appreciated it is a Microsoft Exchange address if that helps.
    Also do you think I could get the battery replaced first then save my things and then book another appointment to get it serviced and wiped. As I have never used the genius bar before
    Thanks in advance.

    If you have a MacBook with the removable battery you can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

    how do you know your iphone needs a new battery ?
    Apple has diagnosed it and told you the battery needs to be replaced.
    does this mean its my battery that needs to be replaced?
    Possibly.
    Take it to an Apple store and have them check it out.

  • Check to see when need a new battery

    The other day the Apple Store told me I only had 40% of my battery leave before needing a new battery.  I what to check my husband iPhone now.  So does anyone know the link.

    There is no link that I know of, you would need to take your husband phone in and have the people at the genius bar take a look at it.

    Depends on how long you have had your iPod. Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod. Or take your iPod Nano to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

  • How Do I tell If I need A New Battery?

    I have a 1200MAH battery in my which I bought 17 months ago, until 3 days ago the battery was working great.  Then quite suddenly (over 2 days) the battery life degraded, I charged it up to 98%, left it 12 hours & now it's at 43% with no use.  Does this mean I need a new battery?  I'm not annoyed about this, I accept they do fail after some time but I cannot find anywhere on the forums or on the Palm literature how long a battery is expected to last (yes I know it depends on use).  I rarely use the phone, camera, E_Mail, internet, etc. and mainly use the PDA functions.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
    For the battery to have crapped out that suddenly does seem a little weird, but I suppose it's possible.  Any chance you might have been playing with something that was left running in the background, like PocketTunes?  If you have background play turned on, and you don't actually stop the music from playing, it'll keep on going.  But then, you would probably hear it from the speaker.

    The battery in the iPod is not user-replaceable. Take your iPod to an Apple Store or contact Apple Support and they can arrange replacement.
