Third Party Battery possible for ipod mini???

I have had several battery problems with my ipod mini!! I bought 2 of it and lost 90% of the battery duration capacity within the first three weeks.
Apple service is not really willing to help and I do not have the time to write and discuss long with some s.... people.
I want to replace the low quality battery by myself by a better one.
Have anybody experience where I can buy a better battery and how to replace the battery by myself??
Thanks for help.

  • Constant low battery warnings for ipod mini 1st Generation

    my ipod mini is doing something weird. When the Battery Meter says it's full, it displays this message that says "No Battery Power Remains, Please plug it into the Power Outlet."
    I have already tried the 5 R's and it didn't work.
    I sent it into apple, and they found no problem and just sent it back.
    I don't know what to do now

    The Mini isn't listed, and looking at the prices Apple charges for replacing batteries on current models, you might be best off just buying a new iPod.

  • Third Party Battery Chargers for MacBook Pro

    I had a very interesting experience last week. I bought 2 85W power adapters for my MacBook Pro. There is no "name brand" for it. They were about $47.50 each. The price was effective in getting me to buy 2 as it was a 33% savings over the purchase of 2 Mac adapters. The location of the store and name on the internet is: CCS - Calcellular.com - CSPower.com (through Yahoo! Store Order System).
    Well, to save me some time, here is a description of the "problems" I had with this adapter:
    Hello,
    I bought 2 Replacement Power Adapters for my MacBook Pro. It is 85W as per Apple specifications.
    After one week, the first adapter failed miserably. Of a sudden, my MAC started acting sporadically as though there was some sort of a short or something. After a bit longer, my MAC's screen turned black (the power was still on and the adapter plugged into my MAC) and it died! I was afraid that there was a sudden zap of electricity from the "brick" of the power adapter. However, I unplugged the adapter from my MAC, leaving the adapter plugged into the wall. I then tried to get my MAC to work again and, fortunately, after shutting it down by just turning it off by pressing the power button. I then plugged in my old original Apple power adapter and then turned my MAC on again. After a while, the plugged-in "brick" of the power adapter that you sold to me was "cold." It had died! I actually bought 2 of these in the hope that, should one die over time, then I would have another at the ready when the need arose. Well, after the scare that I had with the first one, I was extremely reluctant to use the second one for fear that, maybe, the second one may do the same and actually cause damage to my machine. I just plugged in and kept on using the old one. Today, I got an original Apple 85 Watt power adapter that is now connected to my MacBook Pro. Well, since this "event," I have been having trouble with my built-in FireWire interface as it just fails to recognize my external drives extremely erractically for no reason at all. I have changed the cables numerous times and even cut down the number of FireWire drives down from 6 to only one! However, the problem still persists at the same frequency (about once every 15 minutes after getting the drive recognized again). Now, I cannot reliably back up my data from 2 750G drives to a 1T drive as needed. My iTunes library is more than 200G and needs to be on an external drive and I cannot listen to music without the danger of losing my iTunes directory as well as a numeric level of my DRM rights. This was NOT a problem BEFORE the "brick" suddenly malfunctioned or went "bad" on my MAC. I followed the instructions to the letter about how to use the power adapter included in the box. I also bought this MAC last May.
    What can you do for me to "make things right"? I am sure that my MAC requires service as well as repair. However, should Apple deem that it was due to "other than Apple's fault," it could cost almost as much as a new MAC as this "shock" to my MAC may have caused the necessity to replace my current motherboard (over $1600!).
    I am, to say the least, very unhappy and I would like to see a "resolution" to this problem that will return my MacBook Pro to its proper state and performance.
    Thank you,
    Anyse
    Well, I am letting all of you know that this "replacement" is not worth it and I will definitely keep all of you posted as to how this turns out. At least you can learn from MY own experience, if not stupidity!

    Thanks for sharing. Do keep in mind the old adage, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is..." Since Apple has not licensed the MagSafe design, there are no 'official' non-Apple power adapters, so you're either buying a knock-off or a reconditioned one (and with power systems, reconditioned is not a good idea).

  • Third party battery grip

    I have a third party battery grip for my t2i.  For some reason, I cannot adjust the aperture or f/stop when it is connected.  I disconnect it and presto chango, the manual settings go like butter.  How come?

    The battery grip does two things:
    1)  It holds two batteries instead of just one.  Doubling your battery capacity.  The batter power is always available to the camera.
    2)  The battery grips also have a few extra controls so that you can hold the camera in a "vertical" orientation (aften referred to as "portrait" orientation) and you get an extra shutter button, main dial, etc.    However, those controls will only work if the power switch on the battery grip is switched to the "on" positioon.  The controls on your main camera body (not on the grip) should work regardless of whether the battery grip's power switch is on or not (assuming your main camera is switched on.)
    Do you lose ability to control the aperture and shutter settings even when using the controls on the main camera when the grip is attached?
    Is the switch on the grip in the "on" or "off" position when you have this problem, or does it matter?  
    Since this is a 3rd party grip, Canon wont be able to do much to support you (other than to suggest you buy the Canon brand grip, which they do support).

  • Third party battery recommendation

    Hi all,
    I am thinking about buying a new battery for my 15" Powerbook (FW 800). Anyone have recommendations for a good third party battery? I've found numerous references to the NuPower battery (though, does it matter that it's 11.1 V instead of 10.8 V?):
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAP15AL4800/
    I've also found this battery from needbattery.com which has the highest amp hours I've seen (5.85), though since some manufacturers report Watt-hours instead it's hard to compare :
    http://tinyurl.com/etwr2
    There is also this interesting (and perhaps more environmentally friendly?) option of refilling the battery):
    http://tinyurl.com/gny4s
    Any thoughts/recommendations? I'm clearly not so saavy on the battery issue. Thanks for any advice.

    How many time have you run battery reset? Mine took 4 times before the recall test tool showed I qualify.
    You need to install Power manager. 
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-62928.html
    Once installed preform a reset
    Lenovo Power Manager > Advanced > Battery Tab > Battery Maintenance > Preform Reset
    I had to preform 4 resets before the battery biagnostic tool saw the bad battery and I was able to get a recall replacement. The reset build a log of the battery problem and the diagnostic tool uses that log to decide if you get a replacement.

  • The best third party recovery software for  OS X?

    Can someone please recommend the best third party recovery software for  OS X. Accidentally emtied my trash when I shouldn't have.
    Thank you for your help.

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • Third-party battery & charger?

    Hi all,
    Has any of you had any experience with 3rd party camera batteries & chargers? Would it cause any damange to the camera? Would it cause problems when doing repairs via BB or the manufacturer?
    I'm considering this option because BB is making me extremely frustrated by making a simple battery replacement difficult & time-consuming (the whole story: CLICK HERE)
    But I don't want BB or Panasonic to deny my right to repair the camera within the warranty due to using a third-party battery/charger.

    To my knowledge, no manufacturer covers damage caused by using third party accessories under any circumstances (that would be silly).
    In the US, the manufacturer cannot forbid you from using third party acessories and it cannot directly change your warranty status, and there are similar laws in most other countries; only if the third party accessory damages your camera.
    For batteries and chargers, there is little downside, as even if the cells contained within are of a low quality, they would undervolt the camera, which it is designed to handle safely (although you wouldn't LIKE it, it won't damage your camera), not overvolt it, which would cause damage - and even overvoltage will only cause damage if it's significant. The camera has to be pretty tolerant of batteries acting up, because even the best Li-Ion frequently have trouble.

  • Purchasing Third party battery

    Sound too good to be true.

    a lot of people on here will probably disagree with me but i buy everything on ebay.  you just have to pick the right seller.  the battery that you linked to.  the seller only has 243 feedbacks.  get your items from powersellers, the ones that have thousands of feedbacks and then go into the feedbacks and see what customers are saying about them.  i like ebay because the descriptions are usually very well detailed.  the descriptions on amazon are kinda sparce.  i've bought items on amazon that were clearly used. but the description doesn't say new or used.  so you have no recourse.  I have a service company and i have 2-x32s, 3-x41s, 1-x30, and 1-x40 that were all bought on ebay.  all the power adapters, wireless cards, batteries, ram chips, bluetooth chips, everything was bought on ebay and i haven't had any problems with anything. but, again, you have to do your homework.  don't just buy the first one you see, research the seller and the product.  i can buy 4 batteries on ebay for the price of one genuine.  if i get 1 year out of it all four will still last longer than 1 genuine.  and i've been getting 2 1/2 to 3 years use out of 1 battery.  and i don't do anything to prolong the life of batteries, i just use them.  ebay has come a long way from the old days, if a seller gets too many negative feedbacks, ebay will now yank their account.  or take away their selling discounts. so sellers now have to watch their Ps and Qs.  so it's a lot safer to buy something on ebay than it used to be.

  • Third party battery - display showing "not charging"

    Hello everyone,
    After my original battery started to behave as it had come the highest time to replace it ("service battery", sudden shutdowns), I did it and another issue has popped up immediately.
    I bought a third party battery in service point and after installing it and plugging the charger I noticed the green light indicator was still on. At the same time the battery display on the menu bar has been showing the battery is not charging (occasionally it turns into "charging" but then comes back to "not charging") although it actually does but very slowly. I tried to calibrate the battery but when the computer was about to go to sleep it just shut down suddenly when reached 1%. However I let it stay unplugged for the 5 hours, hoping it might helped eventually but when I plugged the charger the condition remained unchanged. Beside that the battery holds power properly.
    Of course I tried resetting SMC but it didn't change anything either.
    Does anyone have any idea what's the cause may be? I'd be bery grateful for any hint.
    Thanks in advance
    Pawel
    PS: sorry for any syntax/grammar mistakes..

    Yeah, this is exactly what I was (and stil am) going to do tomorrow but wanted to do some research earlier anyway.
    I've just installed the old battery and the orange light appeared right away so I guess it's not the MagSafe issue. Besides, as You wrote, it would be extremely weird if it just stopped working at this moment.
    While I was researching the internet I stumbled across some thread where someone wrote some logic boards may just not recognize the third-party batteries (cheap chinese one in this case). I suppose it may be the reason but it's only my guess.
    Thanks for reply
