(prHWY.com) July 2, 2012 - Ss, AK -- iPod battery replacements with these easy instructions. Please be forewarned that although replacing the battery is easy, it will nullify your warranty with Apple. I don't want to be kept liable for the harm done to your iPod because of this article, so do this at your own stake.
Things you should understand before replacing your iPod battery:
1. Apple has an official out-of-warranty battery replacement program for $59 + $6.95 shipping in the United States(see Europe and Canada pricing). The policy demands that you send in your iPod (any model), and Apple will switch the battery and deliver it to you for $59 plus handling and shipping. Technically, Apple really replaces your unit with an equivalent original model or factory-refurbished model in a brand new cover, with its own 90-day service warranty; if it was previously engraved by Apple, it will be engraved over again.
2. The iPod warranty is one year but you can increase it for two years with AppleCare Protection Plan for iPod. Many merchants have low priced extended warranty coverage available and often these programs simply replace the product with a corresponding new unit.
3. Over the course of time, the battery will not maintain the same degree of charge as when it was newly purchased. This is natural, and occurs to all lithium ion batteries. This continued degradation will not affect, or be found by, most users during the life of their iPod. Nevertheless, based on usage, environmental factors, and various other variables, some heavy users may observe a great degradation than others. It is important to know that this is the exact same degradation that would happen with any lithium ion battery applied in any laptop, cell phone, portable music player, etc.
4. The iPod's cover is not designed to be opened, so, in that respect, it's not what would broadly be referred to as "user-replaceable". Nevertheless, with a particular set of tools you can replace the iPod battery yourself and avoid all the hassle by going through Apple.
Step 1 - Procure an iPod battery online or in a retail store nearest you. iPod batteries sells for as low as $11. You have to be definite that the replacement battery you buy is for your iPod.
Step 2 - Switch off your iPod and set the hold button to the on position. Take a flathead screwdriver, as thin as possible but oftentimes the retail shop that sends you the battery will give you a tool. In any case, you must open the unit by putting the tool or screwdriver between the plastic and the metal. Once you sense a clip, pry it ever so gently. Continue around the iPod, opening up each latch.
Step 3 - You are going to have to use that tool or screwdriver again to pull out the battery from the hard drive. Once removed, disconnect it from the board.
Step 4 - Plug in the newly purchased battery to the board of the iPod (where you unplugged the old battery) and set it on the glue that stayed on the hard drive. Make sure that the battery and the wires are set properly so you can actually close the iPod. Snap the cover back together, you'll hear it when it's finished!
