Upgrade Replacement 750mAh Long-Lasting Classic Battery 616-0232 Compatible with iPod Classic 5th - 7th Generation Video A1136 A1238 6th 80GB 6.5th 120GB 7th 160GB 5th 30GB with Tool Kits

I’ve bought replacement iPod batteries in the past, and honestly my expectations were pretty low going into this. I’ve had more than a few arrive dead on arrival, and others that were very clearly refurbished pulls being sold as “new,” that only end up lasting a month or so before dying completely (burn in hell iDemigods). Because of that (and the fact that I'm resorting to buying from an Amazon brand with an unpronounceable name) I was fully prepared for disappointment. I’m genuinely glad to say this one works great. It charged up properly, holds a solid charge for days of moderate use, and so far it performs exactly how you’d want a replacement battery to perform. One thing I really appreciated was the flex cable. It’s rigid enough to hold its shape but still posable, which makes lining it up and plugging it in way easier than some ribbon cables I’ve dealt with before. That alone made the install noticeably less frustrating. I also appreciate that tools were included. That said—my gosh—those tools are absolutely useless when it comes to opening a 7th Gen iPod. This isn’t a knock against the seller at all; it’s just the nature of the device. Those things are borderline impossible to open cleanly without using the entire toolbox and every knife in the kitchen. If you’ve opened one before, you already know what kind of fight you’re in for. That said the tools are a nice gesture. All that aside, once installed, the battery itself is excellent. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and it does it well. No weird behavior, no rapid drain, no issues so far. Overall, this is a 10/10 replacement in my book, and based on this experience, I’d absolutely buy it again without hesitation.

I purchased this to replace the battery for my wife's iPod classic 5.5 gen, 30 gb model. She hadn't used it in years and when we tried charging/booting it up, it would work but the battery would drain so fast. After watching some youtube videos, I was confident that we could replace it. The included tools were helpful. I actually bought a faceplate replacement from another place that came with a long, flat, and thin metal pry tool which was much more useful than the guitar pick tools that came with this battery. The battery was able to fit even though it is 750 mah. I just had to squeeze the case back on a little but it was able to snap into place without issue. Good product and would buy again in future if I decide to get an iPod for myself.

Pry tools were terrible. They snapped and I had to use something else to remove the housing. The battery seems to work fine so far.

Item recieved quickly. Install went well and battery had enough power to boot iPod. Included tools to replace battery, it was compatible with the OEM battery. Fitment was eact and it was a pretty good deal as well.

Worked well for the first few weeks or so, but now won’t hold a charge. I bought this battery back in mid to late August and install was easy but I agree with other reviews that the tools aren’t that great. It’s now 3 months later to the day of this review and the iPod will say it’s charging but won’t hold charge enough to even turn on and be recognized by the computer as connected.

Great item, fast service.

Battery came with all the tools needed for the job, I was able to do the swap quick and easy, this battery was perfect for my 5.5 and so far its lasting more than the stock one. This is only the first week so I will update as time passes.

Battery worked right away. Only had to use the blue plastic splitter stick to open my iPod. Took about 20 minutes for me to complete the job. Time will tell if battery will hold its charge. On a side note, the original battery was labeled as 1300mAh. So this new battery (1050mAh) is almost an "upgrade". Bottom line, I'm happy my iPod is working again.

Excelente producto, fácil instalación, funciona perfecto sino has actualizado el disco duro del iPod, si ya tienes iflash o un lector de memorias puedes optar por una actualización de batería de tamaño completo ya que esa si entra

Todo excelente en funcionamiento al 100, confiable y muy bien empacado, único detalle mi iPod video 30gb 5ta gen, no cerraba en su totalidad pero no afecta, creo que fue tema de acomodar bien la pila antes de cerrarlo. Recomendable para darle nueva vida al iPod

Funciona perfecto! Dura bastante la batería

Equipo completot y en buen estado

Funciona y revivió un ipod
