Where to buy a replacement battery for iPod 5?

Unfortunately, I wanted to play music in my car when we went on a road trip, it was fully charged but I wanted the music to keep on playing. It was on for almost 15 hours. It was a stupid mistake, and now every time I charge it fully, an hour later, the battery life is already cut down in half. It is frustrating to keep on constantly charging it, and it makes it harder to use if I have something important to do but it keeps on losing battery life. I put it on the lowest brightness, turned off all apps, and did many other things to try and prevent it from losing too much battery life, but I think it's already "exhausted" enough. I still have about 160 something days left on my warranty, and I read on here, that I am able to have a free replacement if the warranty is still active. Do I have to get it at an Apple store? Or can I order it online somehow? 

Skydiver...
Totally outside my bailiwick since I have no iPhone, but is it not true that one could purchase that fine device from a cell service provider like AT&T or T-Mobile? In every case I can think of, no matter what product it may be, warranty service starts at the original PoP?
Not knowing how or where it was purchased, I said what I said. Genius Bar my well be the route.
best regards

  • Can I buy a replacement battery for iphone4?

    Hi guys, just wondering if it is possible to buy a replacement battery for an iPhone 4? Even the section on the Apple website entitiled battery replacement doesn't answer the question.
    Cheers.

    No. You cannot buy a battery from Apple.
    You can pay Apple to replace it for you.
    Apple offers a battery replacement for $79, plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

  • Where do I buy a replacement battery for a MacBookPro6,2

    After 1504 cycles, the "Replace Soon" warning has shown up on my mid-2010 MacBook Pro. I am 100% capable of replacing the battery myself, however I can't find anywhere on Apple's website to buy the replacement battery. All it says is to bring it in for them to replace which is not an option for me at this time.
    Does anyone have a SPECIFIC recommendation on where to buy a GENUINE replacement battery for my model? And please don't say "ebay" or "amazon".
    Here are the specs on my model: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP582

    Yes, it is easy to install the battery.  I have taken mine out a couple of times.
    Ciao.
    I'm looking for a non-Apple, non-ebay, non-amazon source for the battery. My Macbook Pro is in use 12+ hours per day for school and work so sending it in for a replacement is also not an option. So strange how it's impossible to find this battery for sale from an online retailer. Macmall, OWC, MacConnection, PowerMax, SmallDog... nobody sells them. :-(

  • Where can I buy a replacement battery for a 17" PowerBook G4?

    Just was advised by Apple Care that Apple no longer sells replacement batteries for the 'vintage' PowerBook G4. Does anyone know of an alternate source where I might be able to buy a replacement battery?

  • The replacement battery for Ipod nano true or false

    I was tryin to figure out if it was true that you can't replace your battery in an Ipod nano unless you have good sodering skills or unless you send it in and replace it. Because I bought a third party replacement battery for my Ipod Nano, and it gave me the instructions to the normal Ipod. Then I saw a lot of discussion posts saying that you can replace the battery for an Ipod Nano, so I need to know if you can or can't.

    It is possible...
    If you Google search for it, you can probably find instructions (with pictures) on how to do it. Basically, you need to use something (such as a tiny flathead screwdriver or a putty knife) to separate the plastic front case from the aluminum back case. Then, you can disconnect the battery that's inside of it and connect your new battery. Most third party iPod batteries recommend charging it completely before first use.
    It is, however, easier to send your iPod in for service for a battery issue, and just have them replace your iPod for you.

    To my knowledge, you don't need any exceptional soldering skills. I've replaced batteries in some older iPods, and needed nothing but a tiny flathead screwdriver that I use to do general maintenance on my saxophone.

  • Where to buy a replacement battery?

    I have a 17" MacBook Pro with the dreaded exploding battery. Apple is unwilling to replace the D E F E C T I V E part.
    Where can I get a GOOD replacement battery, preferable not from Apple?
    After 7 home apple computers (about one every two years - that is not quality), base stations, ipods - I think I'm done with their products. In the last few years I had two logic boards go, broken hinges, I've just accepted the fact and went and got a new one.
    These defective batteries are a real problem.

    Hi JCHall,
    Can you tell us more about the battery? How old is the computer? Is it the original battery? Does the unit have Applecare on it or did it recently expire?
    From my experience, Apple is usually pretty flexible when it comes to batteries. Typically they'll decline a replacement if the unit is outside of the one-year limited hardware warranty (no Applecare) or outside the 3-year Applecare coverage window. That seems pretty reasonable...
    Another scenario is if the battery is considered depleted/consumed. I've had three batteries that as a result of high cycle charges began to expand because they were depleted, not defective.

  • Can I buy a replacement battery for my 13 inch Macbook Pro from Apple?

    The battery for my Early 2011 13-inch Macbook Pro is now completely dead, no longer even recognized by my computer.  Anyone know if I take it into the apple store if they can replace it for me?  I didn't see a battery in the Apple Store that would work, but would they have one there?

    Why don't you call them up & ask??????

  • Where can I buy a new battery for my macbook

    Where can I buy a new battery for my macbook

    Depending on the build year model configuration
    (reference serial number lookup online) you may
    have a MacBook w/ built-in battery, or maybe not.
    If yours does not have a user-accessible battery
    you may want to look into iFixit.com guides to see
    what they suggest for your specific MacBook.
    And then consider if you are up to the DIY steps
    with ability to do the complete service yourself,
    or if not, then contact a qualified certified service
    center to inquire their estimate for part + labor.
    However if your computer does have an easily
    replaced battery with external access where
    you are essentially looking at the battery, that
    is just a matter of identifying the correct Mac
    to get a matching part from reputable reseller.
    You could probably get a replacement battery
    from Apple, if the computer isn't really old...
    Or you could look online at places such as
    OWC where they offer a few batteries. Just
    be sure to avoid the low-end no-name clones
    from auction sites or cheap copy imports.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • My Macbook is old enough, where do I buy a replacement battery

  • Where can I get a replacement battery for my 13 inch MacBook for a reasonable price?

    I have been searching for a replacement battery for my 13 inch MacBook.  Does any one have any good recommendations on where to get one for a reasonable price?

    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.

    I've bought used MacBooks off of eBay for my family, nine of them so far over the last 6 years. I've bought 8 batteries off of eBay sellers, just going with the cheapest. Only had one with a problem, it gave out after 6 cycles. That one was replaced under the warranty by the seller. The only other batteries that have been a problem were Apple branded batteries that started bulging. I've had two of those happen.

  • Where can i buy a replacement trackpad for my macbook pro with retina display

    recently the new force touch trackpad is out and I'm really excited about it and sometimes my multi-touch trackpad is a little glitchy so I'm wondering is there any place to buy a replacement trackpad for my macbook like multi-touch or force click trackpad replacement

    My guess is they wouldn't introduce new production line just for the 1 or two milimeter difference. They will probably just change their marketing material and websites to add Retina as compatible. Then again I'm not a manufacturer.
    In reality though, apart from hard-shell cases/sheilds that have to attach directly on the laptop, the cases and sleeves are already compatible.

  • I live in Ireland. How can I buy a new battery for my N500?

    I need to buy a new battery for my Lenovo 3000 N500.   However, in the Ireland section of the Lenovo web site NONE of the dealers have this part in stock.   It is in stock on the US and UK sections of the web site, but apparently only people in those countries can buy it on line.   I would be prepared to buy it online from the US or the UK and pay the shipping charges to Ireland.  In more than 13 years on the web, Lenovo is the first company I've encountered where I haven't been able to use my credit card to purchase an item from the US or the UK.   I do this all the time with companies like Land's End, Amazon, James Meade etc etc.
    Fine, if I'm not allowed buy from the US and the UK.  But at least,then, make sure I have some other way of buying the part - either on line or from a store.

    According to Apple:
    iPod Owners
    Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $49 (iPod shuffle), $59 (iPod nano and iPod classic), and $79 (iPod touch) plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.
