5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent alternative to getting "service" from the manufacturer, December 21, 2009
By Eagle Vision (Southeastern United States) - See all my reviews

WHAT COMES IN THE BOX

Battery
2 "screwdrivers"
Directions

DISASSEMBLY

Instructions are too tiny to read but legible. Pictures are too small to follow. I watched a video on the Internet (just search for Ipod Video Battery Replacement).

I took the tool and pried the case open along the top right hand corner (away from the lock switch). I needed only one tool as I moved along the edge. Before separation, ensure that you do not rip the wiring off in the process. Look at the configuration of the wiring and the orientationn of the native battery. Then disconnect the battery's plug from the opposite side of the case. Pry the battery off with the "included tool", ensuring that you don't rip the circuitry off in the process. Once the native battery is removed, attach the tape strip connector and you should hear/feel a click. The place the battery into the original compartment. Make sure your wires are within the housing and not to crimp the ribbon connectors.

USE

I charged my iPod Video in about 4 hours. Battery life is excellent and I have had no problems, thus far.

CONCLUSION

This is a great alternative to paying someone to replace the battery. It takes about 5-10 minutes depending upon how comfortable you are with this process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great battery, December 2, 2009
By C. Cole "Khrees" (Orange, Ca USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
My old battery would only hold a charge for a maximum of three or so hours. This one lasts about 11 hours on a full charge. Also, it charges faster. The only problem would be the cheap tools that come with it. The plastic bends and becomes useless pretty fast. If you go online, you can find some pretty useful videos of how other people open them. I used a guitar pick since they are somewhat soft and didn't leave scratches. Anyways, installation was easy, battery life is awesome, I recommend you get this battery if your iPod lasts less than six hours on a full charge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Product, August 12, 2009

(REAL NAME)   
This product is the great replacement for battery in the ipod. I used it to replace the battery of a ipod classic 5th generation that would not hold a charge and it worked perfectly. This is highly recommended.

Good deal for the money. I get about 9 hours of playback using this battery. It's less than the original but for 4.50 it's a hard deal to beat
