It was good that this kit included two different pry tools. An old credit card can also help to keep the already-separated parts apart while you pry on the other side of the case. (Yes, pry. Believe it or not, iPods are snapped together like childrens' toys.) So, installation was fairly easy. Just one comment: Once you get the two pieces separated, be careful not to separate them too quickly or too far! You can break a cable. The old battery was just not holding a charge for long. That is no longer a problem. I can't really compare the runtime of this battery to the old one because the old one was... well, old. A fair comparison would be to a new battery of the type I had previously. But, I don't have a new one of that type. I'll just have to say that runtime has not been a problem either. FIT PROBLEMS: The new battery fit PERFECTLY in the iPod. I see several reviews where buyers complained that their iPod would not close completely after installation. They simply bought the wrong battery (or tried to put it in the wrong iPod). Here's the story: There were two different varieties of "iPod Video 5th Generation", one that came with a smaller hard drive, and one that came with a 60 or 80 GB hard drive. The latter models were thicker to accommodate the larger drive, and this battery will only fit in those models. So - only buy this product if your iPod video 5th gen came with a 60 or 80 GB hard drive. It's that simple. Review: Order mix up - Maybe this was my fault or there's but I have a 30gb iPod and I ordered this thinking they all had the same size battery. I received the item quick and packaging was good, however once isntalled on iPod I noticed it wouldnt close. The iPod worked fine with it but upon further inspection of the battery I noticed it was slightly thicker than the original and it also stated "60gb" on the battery itself. I just kept it and holding it till I find a 60 gb that needs it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004SJY2WG | | Antenna Location | Ipod | | Battery Capacity | 1300 Milliampere Hour (mAh) | | Battery Cell Composition | Lithium Ion | | Battery Cell Type | Lithium Ion | | Brand | eForCity | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 93 Reviews | | Item Dimensions | 6.3 x 2.95 x 0.79 inches | | Manufacturer | eForCity | | Model Number | 349601 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Ipod | | Reusability | Rechargeable | | UPC | 877084158039 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 3.7 Volts | ## Product Details - **Battery Capacity:** 1300 Milliampere Hour (mAh) - **Battery Cell Composition:** Lithium Ion - **Brand:** eForCity - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Ipod - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count ## Images ![Insten Replacement Battery 1300mAH Compatible with iPod Video 5th Gen 5G Generation 60GB / 80GB + with Open Tools Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dyO-iGUoL.jpg) ![Insten Replacement Battery 1300mAH Compatible with iPod Video 5th Gen 5G Generation 60GB / 80GB + with Open Tools Set - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ntktcaWRL.jpg) ![Insten Replacement Battery 1300mAH Compatible with iPod Video 5th Gen 5G Generation 60GB / 80GB + with Open Tools Set - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Wr-6BBkSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly! *by C***T on May 11, 2013* Although modding a classic iPod is considered "difficult" by some, I've opened my iPod before (to install a larger hard drive) so this was not a problem.

The blue tools broke before i could even open the ipod case then the wire ribbon broke while trying to install the battery. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/17514282-insten-replacement-battery-1300mah-compatible-with-ipod-video-5th-gen](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/17514282-insten-replacement-battery-1300mah-compatible-with-ipod-video-5th-gen) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
