Product Description

Reinvigorate your iPod with a high-capacity battery from Sonnet! All iPods use batteries that can only be recharged so many times, and their charge capacities get smaller as time passes. If your iPod doesn''t play as long as it used to, give it a boost with one of our iPod replacement batteries - it''s a great, economical way to give new life to your player.

This is a lot harder then they show on any video. you need to use a lot of force, but at the same time being careful. The battery it self is good the things it came with to help you open the ipod are useless, mine broke. I ended up using a knife to open it. The installation is the hard part. If you think you will be able to open it, then you should but it.

Hello - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sonnet Technologies Multimedia Player Battery (BATG-5G30) (Electronics)

After reading some of the reviews, I was a bit fearful about trying to open my iPod, but my experience was rather good. I think the key is to follow the directions on the included CD very carefully. Don't use the tools to try to pry the case open, you don't seem to need to twist the tool at all. Based on my replacement experience, if you follow the video carefully, it works well. As explained in the video, the key seems to be to push the opening tool into the seam of the iPod while sliding the tool up and down along one of the sides (this shown on the video, and I know it doesn't seem to make sense, but it works). Keep sliding the tool up and down the seam on one side while applying slightly more and more pressure to the tool forcing it slightly further into the iPod. Eventually, you will see a gap of about 1/16" open up on the side after having worked the tool into the iPod (don't twist or pry with the tool though, just push it into the iPod while sliding it up and down). It took be about 10 or so times of sliding the tool along one of the edges to open the gap up wide enough. Once you open one side up about 1/16", slide the tool around one of the top corners. There are some connectors along the bottom, so do that last to avoid damaging them. Once you get one side and the top open, slide the tool around the other top corner to the side opposite the one you started with. That side should open up easily. Once the two sides and top are open, the bottom opens easily, and viola its open. The rest of the installation is easy.
