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:
  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. moving your files back to the iPod if needed
  4. Shipping your finished iPod back to you.
