If you're an iPod fanatic (you know who I'm talking
about) you'd better have a sit-down. Xlr8yourmac recently reported
that after they replaced their original iPod battery with one from
Newertech they went from 4 hours to 21 hours of playtime. It cost them
$40 and five minute's effort, (although this definitely voids the
warranty). The $40 includes a tool set and installation guide, and if
you tack on the coupon code 'HIGHROAD' when you check out you can get
the NewerTech RoadTrip FM Transmitter device for only $9.99. Not bad,
especially if you've got an older iPod (1st or 2nd gen) with a worn
out battery.

FastMac introduces iPod battery upgrade
06/22/2005 01:54 AMFastMac on Monday announced an iPod battery upgrade that utilizes
patented nanoparticle technology. The company's new upgrade utilizes
patented nanoparticle technology codenamed “TruePower,” that
significantly slows the degradation of the battery by protecting and
preventing damage to the battery’s internal lithium crystal matrix
caused by power spikes.
“If you’re spending more time recharging your iPod than you are
actually using it, this upgrade is for you” Business Development
Manager for FastMac Performance Upgrades Michael Lowdermilk said.
“This really is the last battery your iPod will ever need.”
The upgrade is available for first, second and third generation iPods
and comes with a two-year warranty.

iPod battery swap surprisingly easy
iPod battery swap surprisingly easy
09/08/2004 09:45 PM
Mark Frauenfelder:
Plenty of people have swapped a new battery into their iPod, so the
fact that I did it, too, is nothing new. But the fact that someone as
clumsy as I am did it in about ten minutes without destroying the iPod
is surprising. If you're as fumbled fingered as I am and have been
afraid to open your iPod, I hope this gives you the courage to take
action.
Here's what happened: Last year, I gave my six-year-old daughter my
old 10 Gig old-style iPod, because I got a 20 Gig model. Last month,
she started complaining that the battery wasn't holding a charge. This
is a known problem with iPods. Last week, her iPod was dying after
running for just a few minutes. It was time to crack it open.
Using Froogle, I searched on "iPod battery" and found this replacement unit for $30. The shipping was around $6 and it
arrived via 2-day UPS.
(Click images for enlargement)
When it
arrived (on time), I opened it and found the battery, some
instructions (the same ones found here), and a
cute-as-a-button miniature screwdriver with a little clip on it so you
can insert it in a shirt pocket. Following the instructions, I
carefully inserted the screwdriver into the crack between the metal
case and clear plastic lid. But the screwdriver's blade was way too
thick to get into the seam. I ended up gouging the plastic.
I set the
screwdriver aside and grabbed a kitchen knife. It took about three or
four minutes of tentative probing before I could get the knife blade
worked in far enough to give me enough leverage to start to separate
the top from the bottom. Once I got it started, though, I was able to
use the adorable little screwdriver to pry the iPod the rest of the
way open.
The old
battery was attached to the hard drive with a couple of strips of
padded, double-sided tape. I tore the tape a little while removed the
old battery, and one of the strips got stuck to itself, but it wasn't
a big deal. The battery has a couple of wires coming out of it, ending
in a tiny white plug that goes into a socket. It was easy to unplug. I
took the new battery and stuck it onto the sticky tape. Then I plugged
it in the little socket. The cover snapped right on.
After
charging it overnight, I gave it to my daughter and it has been
running for hours. Mission accomplished!
