iPod battery upgrades

Kermit the frog · Jun 19, 2007, 10:01 PM

I've been reading in my macworld mags that there are companies that will install and upgrade a new battery in my iPod. I have a 30 gig video and I'm interested in getting upgraded. Has anyone done this, if so how the service and experience

I did my own on my 2G iPod. It was so easy and it only cost me $5 plus shipping. I bet the 5G batteries would be more expensive, but might be just as easy to install. Mine literally took me less than 10 minutes, having never done it before. Check macsales.com and see if it's something you think you could handle yourself.

Where did you get yours? I am looking to get something like 650-750 range for my mini.
