Has anyone ever done this by themself? My better half's ipod battery died today and I see that i can buy a battery for about 15$ shipped. If you have done this yourself let me know how it went....
 
Get the battery with the tool kit (plastic knife) and follow the directions. The hard part is prying the case apart. I managed a small nick in mine.

Its very straight forward once you crack open the shell. Theres alot of online guides and youtube videos about it.

YouTube - iPod Battery Replacement
 
I replaced one once in an iPod I was going to sell on eBay. But the person who bought it still had problems with the battery.

It's kind of fun as a "do-it-yourself" project and cool to see how the iPod is put together.

Personally I think the best options are replace the battery yourself or buy a new iPod...having Apple replace the battery is not worth it for what they charge.
