    I beleive those are easy to replace. Check Ebay for a battery or another Ipod with a broken screen or dead HDD. And just take the battery out of that. If you have trouble let me know, a guy work with has a lot of experience with swapping out parts to Ipods. I can check with him.
    Yay! Cigars!

    According to the Apple website, the batteries last around 400 charges. But I bet the closer you get to 400 charges, the weaker charge you get each time.

    I know if you bring them in to the Ipod store they can do it, or you can ship it to Apple. But I bet they charge out the wazoo.

    When my Ipod Touch battery starts getting weak, I will just search online and find any alternative I can find instead of paying Apple a mint for a freaking battery.

    The battery will actually last longer if you let it run all the way down before charging again. Same thing for laptop batteries.

    I have the older click wheel ipod and its on battery #3 (all replaced by me) and doing fine. Plenty of good stuff online.

    I try to do so; it's ususally well below 10% by the time I recharge. So I should drain it completely each time before I recharge?
