Last night I pried the back off of my old-school (e.g. the wheel actually spins around) iPod and dropped a new battery in there. Things had been getting pretty ridiculous lately, what with the battery meter never getting above 2 bars, even after an all-night “charging” session. Also, there was the whole “battery runs out within 5 minutes of being connected to my PC’s Firewire port” thing that made copying new music to the Pod quite a challenge. So I finally bit the bullet and went to iPodBatteryFAQ.com to look up some replacement battery vendors, before settling on Vermont-based Small Dog Electronics to fulfill my order (as well as my latent desire to purchase something non-ice-cream-related from Vermont!). The process was quick and painless (be careful not to pinch your fingers whilst snapping the case together, though!) but, most importantly, much cheaper ($30 < $99) than going through Apple for parts and "labor." And the results? Well, before even charging the Pod with it's new battery installed, I figured I'd dischage it completely so as to start things fresh. With the backlight on and the volume cranked, it took about 4 hours for the battery to go from 2 bars to the dreaded "no juice for you!" icon.
So at the risk of sounding like a spammer, let me say the following:
