Battery for Apple Original iPod

This kit contains one battery, our specialized blue plastic tool, and detailed color instructions - everything you need to safely replace the battery in your 1st and 2nd Generation iPod and increase playtime by 83 percent!

Is This the Right Kit for Me? If your iPod has a white front and metallic silver back with four navigation buttons that surround an all-white ScrollWheel, and charges via FireWire port at the top of the player, this is the right kit for you! You can also review our comprehensive list just to make sure.

This is the biggest, baddest battery available for the 1st/2nd Generation iPod today!

Compared to the original battery that came in your 1st and 2nd Generation iPod, our 2200 mAh 3.7-volt Lithium-Ion battery provides 18 to 20 hours of playtime between charges and our 1600 mAh 3.7-volt Lithium-Ion battery provides 11 to 13 hours of playtime between charges. These are conservative estimates, as we'd rather under-promise and then over-deliver (that being said, we regularly receive feedback from our customers reporting even longer playtimes).

This robust battery is 100 percent compatible with your iPod, will work with your existing chargers/cables, and is guaranteed for ten years from the date of purchase.

Also included is our specialized blue plastic tool, a fantastic tool that opens your iPod without scratching it. This durable plastic tool has a sharp, wedge-shaped tip that's perfect for slipping into the tight seam on your iPod. The long handle allows you to firmly grasp the tool and safely pry both halves of your iPod apart. Other companies suggest using a metal screwdriver (please don't do this!) or saddle you with two cheap tools that are so flimsy, the tip bends and quickly becomes worthless. And then what do you do? Only we have this specially designed tool to efficiently open your device.

This kit also includes a set of the most detailed instructions available today. Our printed instructions include professionally-taken, color photographs with detailed text that walk you step-by-step through the battery replacement process. Other companies have you go it alone or give a black-and-white photocopy with fuzzy photos that fail to point out areas where additional caution is needed.

If you suspect your iPod has water or liquid damage, we suggest setting up an order for our repair evaluation as it's possible that a battery alone will not solve the problems that you're having.

From the Tech Bench: "Plan to spend 10 – 15 minutes on this project. One of the most challenging things about replacing the battery in the 1st and 2nd Generation iPod is opening up the device, a process made much easier with the iOpener. Once you get past this, it's just a matter of removing the old battery, connecting the new battery, and then closing everything back up. Just take your time, go slow, follow the directions, and you'll be all set."
