Replacement for Apple iPod Video 30gb 5th Generation Battery - Compatible with Apple iPod Battery (450mAh 3.7V Lithium Polymer)

The original battery on my old, 5th generation, 30GB, iPod classic wouldn't hold a charge anymore, making the iPod useless.I replaced the battery with the Upstart battery. So far it works great! I watched a handful of youtube videos on how to open the iPod and replace the battery. It was easy enough. The task only took about 10 minutes or so, after I watched the videos. My suggestion is to do it slowly and carefully. There's one ribbon cable under the original battery that you have to be careful of when you pry the battery from the adhesive that holds it to the back case cover. The battery ribbon cable is delicate so carefully insert it back into the jack when you finish.

I have an IPod classic and I was upset when it stopped holding a charge. I purchased this battery so I can use my iPod again. It works. Except the little blue tools they send you. Just throw them out. They are useless. I used a small tiny screw driver set to help open my IPod up. The battery fit perfectly inside the iPod. Did come with a little charge on it this helped a lot before closing up the iPod and hoping for the best. Would give 5 stars except the tools are beyond useless and can’t finish the job.

Tool's broke. Battery didn't last

Super fast shipping. But, I bought the wrong one. Dumb on my part. It was kinda hard to open the iPod, though. Even with the tool. One of them broke. The price is not bad, in my opinion. It is, what it is.

I read a lot of negative reviews for this product regarding the quality of the tools. The tools are sufficient for the job. Yes, it's tough work prying the ipod open. I destroyed the tools getting our ipod open. The battery installed perfectly and the device works like new.

Good battery; works right from the start when I popped it into place unlike the first battery I bought from another seller. I didn't need them, but the package actually comes with some instructions for people who aren't too tech savy.Battery gives me at least 5 hours of solid life when I make sure its charged to full.

Received this battery dead, and would not charge. So I thought I get a second one. Same problem. Dead battery that will not charge. Don’t waste your money or time. Clearly these batteries are defective.

All my tools broke before I got the iPod open. Battery is good though
