Q: Can I replace iPod's battery myself?
A: Experienced iPodders will already be aware that the iPod's Achilles heel may be its battery. The battery loses power after a number of charge cycles. Previous reports have always suggested that the battery (a 3.7 Volts 1500 mAh Sony UP325385A4H) was manufactured exclusively for Apple.
A Do-It-Yourself replacement battery kit for 1G and 2G older iPods is available from PDA Smart with complete installation instructions for $59.00. If you're not comfortable with opening your iPod, they offer a mail-in service in which they will do the installation for you for $68.00.
A Do-It-Yourself replacement battery kit for 1G, 2G and 3G iPods is available from Laptops for Less with complete installation instructions for $49.00. We do not recommend opening the iPod using the included screw driver. Use a thin, sturdy piece of plastic or something similar.
Apple also offers it's own Battery Service for $99 plus $6.95 shipping. Apple will replace the battery for you and offers a 90-day guarantee on materials and workmanship.
