  • Sorry to be a bother, but I just installed my new battery. When I charged it for the first time it, the icon would show the charged logo and it is not fully charged. Anyway help please?

  • @Fortinbras May need to break in the battery. This would involve fully charging the battery, letting it fully die down, recharge, die, and recharge again. From there the battery should be fully conditioned.

  • Do the batteries from the 60/80GB version fit the 30GB version?

  • @Largamelion Sadly no, the physical size of the 60/80GB is too large to fit in the case.

  • I just got your repair kit for my iPod 5.5 which was dead for years. Took 10 minutes to change the battery. I felt like Dr. Frankenstein bringing it back to life, lol

  • @ultranol1983 Haha, Great work! Got to love the iPod Videos. They are so simple to repair!

  • @PinoyPogiman The shelf life is pretty long but normally wear on a battery does not take too long, 2-3 years. That is in optimal working conditions. Add moisture, water damage, or heavy use and that can be dropped to 1-2. All of the aftermarket batteries are normally pretty decent, it will depend on the manufacturer though. They normally outlast stock batteries in terms of use a charging speed.

  • @RepairsUniverse die out often? how long exactly is the shelf life exactly?

    i know there are already 3rd party producers that make the batteries. but how long does it last, plus how do rechargeables die?

  • @PinoyPogiman The flex cables are very fragile, however are pretty sturdy if handled properly. They should never be twisted and then have pressure put onto them. The batteries do die out quite often, luckily replacing them is very simple.

  • i wouldnt think of flipping the back casing in that kind of way...

    those ribbon cables are hefty, but feel pretty fragile.

    but i got my Ipod Video from a pawn shop.... not sure how much its been through. but maybe a battery might be needed someday
