There are few products more popular than the iPodexcept when it
comes to battery life. The batteries in early iPods fail after a
time (300 to 500 charge/discharge cycles or about two to three
years) and just won’t hold a charge. Even worse, there’s no easy
way to change the batteries. Angry owners sued and now Apple has
agreed to some restitution (AppleIpodSettlement). That’s good
news if you’re the owner of a third-generation iPod: You’re
eligible for a free battery replacement or (at Apple’s
discretion) a replacement iPod, providing you still have your
proof of purchase and file a claim by September 30, 2005. The
news is not so good if you have a first- or second-generation
iPod: You can choose between a check for $25 or a $50 store
credit to use on Apple products (excluding iTunes). Well, at
least that’s something. But you’re still stuck with your dead
battery. What can you do? The simple (and costly) approach would
be to go with Apple’s iPod Out-of- Warranty Battery Replacement
Program.

Send in your dead iPod along with a check for $99 plus $6.95
shipping and you’ll receive an equivalent new or refurbished
model with a fresh battery in one to three weeks. Besides paying
more than three times the cost of a battery, which can be
obtained online for around $30, you’re not even guaranteed
you’ll receive your exact iPod back in the mail. Why not avoid
all of Apple’s service fees? You really can replace the battery
on your own: We’ll show you how. Sure, you’ll void the warranty
in the process, but isn’t that part of the fun?
