Has anyone ever replaced their battery on their ipod? I have a 5th generation 30GB Video ipod and the battery is terrible now that it is two and a half years old. I have seen a few different websites out there that have directions and sell the batteries... I trust I can install the battery from what I have seen on the videos but I don't know if I trust the battery some of these company's are selling.
Anyone have any experience with this?

iFixit is a good site.

Have you used them before? Is their battery reliable?

Not for parts, but it's a well known and trust worthy site.

I have ordered parts from them a couple times, had NO issues with them at all.

Thanks guys. I am just wondering where they get the battery from lol, I mean I am sure rechargeable batteries aren't easy to make but I like the price over what Apple wants to replace my battery...
I will probably go for it and see how it is... -
You can buy the battery from ebay and follow the step by step demonstration on youtube.
Very easy
