How do I replace the battery in my older IPod

I have an older Ipod with what seems to be a dead battery.  How do you replace them?

I was able to find an all-in-one kit specific to my older ipod at my local electronic store (Micro Center.)
The kit cost $20 (a couple years ago) and included all the tools I'd need to take apart the unit, the new battery, and a CD-ROM with a step-by-step video. I think it even included a sleeve to mail in the old battery for recycling.
It was easy, cheap, and kinda fun! My ipod works great to this day. Highly recommend it!
One thing I wish I had asked before doing this: Do they sell memory upgrade kits for older ipods? If so, it would have been best to change out that component while I had the unit open. Since they're not really meant to be opened by the user, I don't think I'll dare open it up a second time. Just some food for thought.

  • I hav a hp laptop.. my batteru is dead .. how do i replace the battery??

    i hav a hp laptop.. my batteru is dead .. how do i replace the battery??

    Start here HP laptop battery chart. Also check the back of your battery for the part numbers.
    If you buy a battery from HP, the HP Parts Store will usually give you a better price than the HP Store.
    If you would like what could be a cheaper option, check for a 3rd party, after market, battery. Try to find a battery match for your laptop with same or better (higher) mAh or Ah rating. This will be rating of how long the charge will last. A lower mAh will run down more quickly when running your laptop or the battery. Also be aware or cell count, size, illustrations, oversized battery, and fatpack battery. Some batteries advertise longer life. These batteries stick out from the bottom of the laptop and are called oversized or fatpack batteries by users. I would also trust venders like http://laptopbatteryone.com/ or http://www.batteries.com/  before I would buy of eBay (eScam). If you laptop is very old your only option may be a 3rd party source.
    Last don't forget shipping cost when comparing price.

    Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your coverage to two years from the date of your iPad purchase with the AppleCare Protection Plan for iPad. During the plan’s coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $99, plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

    Apple will replace the battery for $79US, but frankly, replacing that ancient device would make more financial sense.

  • How do I replace the battery myself?

    My battery is dying fast (it's given me a pretty amazing 43 month run and has done 1120 cycles) so I've ordered a new battery. But I can't find anywhere that tells me how to replace the battery myself? What are the steps?
    Please advise! Thank you

    You just turn your PB over and use a coin or something to unlock it. Battery comes out. Put in the new one. Simple.

  • How do I fix the battery life for my iPod touch?

    It has a very low battery life. I can only use apps for 1-2 hours. Please help me! Thanks

    See this article for different ways to preserver and extend your iPod's battery life and health.
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html
    How old is the iPod and are you letting it charge to full capacity each time?  Batteries do wear out over time and lose their ability to maintain a full charge at max capacity. It could just be a sign that the battery is wearing out and in need of replacement.

  • How do I maximize the battery life for my iPod touch?

    Hi,
    I am the proud new owner of an iPod 5th generation. My question is how can I maximize the batteries lifetime? Is there a certain percentage the battery should stay in between  Should it be plugged in whenever possible, does that circumvent the battery and just keeps it alive until taken out, and then switches back to using the battery?
    Anyway, any tips would be helpful. I already keep all features off that I don't need, such as bluetooth, messages, facetime etc.
    Thanks, GreatAndRandom

  • How do I replace the battery in my 5th Gen iPod?

    I'm looking for instructions on how to do this and advise on reliable suppliers for replacement batteries. Thank you!

    I've had good luck using iFixit. They have great instructions for repairing all kinds of devices, esp. Apple computers and iPods/Phones. They sell parts, too. I just installed their replacement battery for the iPod 4G/Photo, and everything appears to have gone well. I checked, and they have instructions fro the 5G, too. Here is the link to their instructions.
    http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+iPod+5th+Generation+%28Video%29+Battery/6 03/1
    They do sell replacement batteries for 30 Gb or 60/80 Gb models for $15 right now. I've seen some cheaper prices (on Overstock for the 4G battery), but don't mind supporting the folks who provide the instructions. And I trust their advice and products.

  • Replacing the battery in 20GB & 4Gb clickwheel ipods

    Can you replace the battery in a 20GB iPod with clickwheel (M9282LL) and a 4GB iPod Mini with clickwheel?
    20GB iPod is running OS version 3.1.1. Not sure what the Mini is running, but believe it is the same as they were purchased at the same time.
    Both no longer hold charges for very long. They do charge and play, but the battery quickly dies.
    Thank you.

    I recommend a battery by iPodjuice.com.
    Their batteries are cheap, last longer than the original battery did when it was new, come with tools and detailed instructions, as well as videos on their website, and have 10 year warranties against the battery.

  • My iphone 4s is over 2 years old and I need to replace the battery. How much will this cost at an Apple store?

    I have an iphone 4s that is  over 2 years old. The phone's battery is no longer able to hold a  charge for an acceptable length of time.  Assuming I need to replace the battery, how much will this cost at an Apple store?

    Basically, I'm new to Apple, despite using them before, but I've never actually owned my own.
    Since buying this phone off a colleague at work, I seem to be having problems with it. First, I noticed how rubbish the battery life is, then my charger almost went up in flames and thirdly my camera lense is scratched beyond belief.
    I know the phone isn't within warranty, although I was lead to believe it was before and during buying it, so basically I'm extremely disappointed with the general make up of iPhone's considering they cost such a **** of a lot of money, you'd think they'd be built to last.
    Back to my main point, how much would it cost for a new battery? Or a new camera lense if anyone can help me with that? (I know that the back of the phone was refurbished just before my buying it, so literally just the camera lense)
    Thanks!
    So basically it sounds like you bought an abused used iPhone and somehow that makes the phone subpar because dispite the abuse it should still last forever and look like new? Batteries don't last forever, even under ideal conditions, so your expectatoins are unrealistic. Take it in and have an estimate done.

  • How do I get the apple wireless mouse open to replace the battery?

    How do I get the apple wireless mouse open to replace the battery?

    Thank you!  I am 71 also, and broke a fingernail trying to get the thing open, thought there must be a trick to it.  After many attempts, when I had your reply it opened right up.  I think Apple delights in making people look stupid.  Love the machines, but dislike the smooth surfaces with no obvious switches to run the machine itself.  Computer is still not "discovering" the mouse, so there may be some further problem to be resolved.  The whole setup worked fine until a few days ago when the computer started to lose the mouse now and then.  I thought probably the mouse needed batteries, as I just had replaced the contemporary batteries in the keyboard.
    I'm retired, too, in Portland, Oregon, USA, and write poetry (though not for advertising agencies), get lot of rejections and an acceptance about once a year.
