iPod battery

[Pooky]

I need a battery for my iPod Video (5th gen), where could I get one from?

Mine is not holding the charge very long.

www.ebay.com

I got one for my iPod 3G way back when... it was easy to replace.

I can't use ebay everything uses paypal and shipping will probably be expensive...

These batteries are really light and fit well inside a padded envelope.
As long as you find a reputable seller and a decent battery make, you'll
score. I did this back in 2005.

2nd ebay - I paid R20 shipping for a 500ml bottle from the UK.. and paypal is great - they give you your money back if it doesnt arrive.

It is also there but for R320. Since its not sooo expensive (sure R320 is a lot but saving R100 going thru Ebay may not be worth the hassle) you can try locally.

300 bucks for a cr@ppy little battery, that's hectic, man. I am sure you could find it for a lot less. Let us know on your drive update, Pooks, mine could also do with one.

Just be careful of fakes (can leak, explode, less performance), so check well on EBay.
