Battery Replacement
My iPod's battery isn't lasting or holding a charge like it used to...
There are a number of things that affect a batteries life. Over charging is the most likely to end it soon.
I have articles on over charging from
docking station
and
car adapters
Also I've written an overview about Lithium Battery technology
These batteries I sell and use are all factory new, recently manufactured and kept in a cool environment while here.
Pricing to replace a failing battery
The labor charge includes several things. It includes:
- Data Recovery - backing up all your data, music and video files in case you don't still have them and placing in safe for access back on the iPod when finished
- opening up your ipod, replacing your battery with a new one, putting
your iPod back together - partial charging and then discharging the battery in place, then charging it again to near capacity.
- moving your files back to the iPod if needed
- Shipping your finished iPod back to you.
