This battery revived my defunct ipod [2001 original model] after the guys at the Apple store couldn’t do a thing for it. Surprisingly? they didn’t even suggest a new battery. A friend guided me to this item and my iPod has now risen from the dead.

Battery works perfectly once installed. Very difficult to use the included plastic tools to pry open the ipod, I ended up using a very fine bladed serrated knife instead. The plastic tool also will have the tips deform as you continue to try to get them to work. Excellent product, would be much better if they had a metal installation tool.

This is the second time I've had to replace the battery in my 2nd gen iPod. First time I got a replacement from NewerTech. Lucky thing, because the CD-ROM containing the video instructions for this second battery doesn't load. And Sonnet doesn't have the video or any written instructions on their website.

Yes, there are instructions out there on the web. And I already had a set of instructions I'd saved from the first replacement, so I got the job done. But this was really ridiculous. iPods are difficult to open even with instructions...

That aside, it's a battery. It works. Not much more to rate. Rating: 3 / 5
