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.

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.

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. -
Time to replace the battery?
I have had my ipod touch 4G for over 2 years. It has been working great, but lately it won't hold a charge for a day. I dont have anything running. At first I thought it was just all the app updates since iOS7. Now I am wondering if it's time to replace the battery? I use my ipod a lot.
It is up to you whether you want to shell ourt for batter replacement or just live with the shorter battery life.

My ipod suffered some water damage early this year, leaving the device itself working fine, but making it so that the battery drained itself within a day after each charge, whether it was used or not.
I therefore assumed the battery was the problem, so I replaced the battery, restored the iPod, and recharged it. Unfortunately, the problem has continued. Since the battery got replaced, I imagine the battery itself is fine. What else could be causing the problem, and how can I get it fixed?most likely the mainboard and 30 pin connector took some damage and wont connect properly you just might need to replace the mainboard and everything will be fine. (P.S.you should cheak for other damage aswell)
hope it works out :3 -
I already replaced the battery in my iPod nano, can I still get the replacement?
I applied for the replacement of my iPod nano, 1st gen. I replaced the battery myself a couple of years ago. Can I still get the replacement? I'm still waiting for my box to send the nano back in but don't want to send it if it's just going to get rejected. Is it possible I could even get charged for evaluation if I send it in?
Thanks,
MikeThe recall is due to the original batteries being faulty
If you replaced the battery yourself, then you don't have a faulty battery anymore so why bother sending it back? -

I have an iPod touch 4th Generation that needs battery replacement after 2 years of use. Can I go to an Apple Store in my area to get my battery replaced? I brought the iPod in another store. Do I need a proof-of-purchase or it is too late due to the way past of Apple's warranty or I can't due to not officially not purchasing the iPod touch at the Apple Store? I welcome your feedback. Thank you!

Protective shield (skin) and replacing the battery
Hi,
I have a new iPod Classic 80GB and will have it covered with a shield (skin) that covers the entire iPod. When or rather IF I have to replace the battery will I ever have a problem with Apple because of my skinned iPod?
Will they require that I remove the skin before having it serviced?No.
Apple will simply send a replacement iPod (without the shield). -
Replacing the battery on 160GB classic
I have an iPod classic 160GB charcoal that seems to need a new battery, off to eBay, and evidently there are 2 options, one thicker than the other.
Any way to tell so I can get the right battery and then the amusement of prying open the unit to replace it, i have those blue pry bars, from repairing other apple products that needed serviceHi Cigdem,
With modern notebooks/batteries it is normally quite safe to leave the battery installed when using the AC supply. The notebooks electronics will ensure that only a small amount of charge will be supplied to the battery to ensure that it is topped up.
It is still worth running the notebook on battery periodically just to drain it and then allow it to recharge normally by reconnecting the AC supply. This will help to keep the battery in optimum condition.
Replacing the battery is quite easy. There will be a small catch near the battery which you slide to one side in order to release the battery. Your user handbook will have all the details.

My sister gave me her iphone 4s for my son. It needed a new battery so, I bought one and replaced it. after doing so, it will not power up. I can only see the apple on the screen and when left for a few minutes.... 10 lines of numbers and codes show up at the top of the screen. Did I ruin the iphone by replacing the battery? Was a simple switch so I don't understand what is going on. Have never had one of these before.
iPhones are not user servicable.
Take the device to a competent repair person or buy a new one. -
My MacBook Pro 13" won't turn on 90% of the time I try to get it running, and when it does turn on, even on a charger, it shuts down if I stop using it for 2+ seconds and it won't turn back on. Should I replace the battery? It doesn't hold a charge either...
EmadJamal,
the battery won’t melt because of long connection to the AC charger, although that has the potential of reducing the battery’s life.
Do you have access to a second 60 W AC charger to test with your MacBook Pro, or access to a second 13-inch MacBook Pro against which your AC charger could be tested?
