616-0159 E225846 Replacement for Apple iPod Battery 3rd Generation

I was worried this battery might be old stock, but I put it into my iPod 3rd gen and it's been working great! Remember that if you're charging and 3rd gen you need to use Firewire, USB won't charge the battery

This battery took about 3/4 of a month longer to arrive than it was supposed to but I eventually got it. The long wait time could be because I ordered it around the time trump announced the new tariffs. Either way I ended up getting it and it works great. I believe the battery life is good but I still haven’t gotten the iPod to boot up correctly so I can’t say for certain.

Is it the highest performing battery in the world I don’t know did it bring back to life and I buy that haven’t used for 15 years? Yep it sure did do I get to listen to music? I haven’t listened to in years? Yep it was all there.. Thank you for providing something I needed.

As others have posted, there is no "pry tool" included -- just a couple useless screwdrivers. I have a busy schedule and have tried here and there to pry open my iPod and install this battery, but have been unsuccessful. I have, however, been extremely successful in scratching the heck out of the previously pristine finish of my formerly perfectly-preserved iPod. Thanks to this product, I now have an iPod with a dead battery AND a ton of scratches. Eventually I'll probably get into it and install this battery, but for right now -- after two or three weeks with it -- this product has been 100% useless to me. Extremely frustrating. Good thing it was cheap (in every sense of the word). I just don't have time to keep trying this.

This battery was easy to install (check YouTube videos). The tools included weren’t particularly useful. Opening the case requires additional tools. Once installed it will power my IPod for 4-5 hours.

The battery is fine, but the tools are wrong. It includes a small flathead and small phillips. The plastic box is even shaped like there should be a prying tool in there. The included instructions also mention the prying step. If you use the flathead screwdriver, it might scratch the ipd pretty bad. Once inside, if you want to remove the screw on the board to tuck the battery wire under, you need a small torx, not phillips.

Do not use the included tools!! Haha. The battery life has been great and lasts as about 6 hours or so for me. Battery life hasn’t been properly displayed on my iPod since though but i dont know if any third battery is accurately displayed after installation. Would recommend and buy again if this one went bad

Received quickly and was the part I requested

Battery is not holding the charge.

Received battery quickly in mail. Looks good. Haven’t installed yet.

I wrote a review on this item already but I will say again.The battery is great for a replacement .Everything was great but screwdriver are not useful.

These batteries are terrible. They charge fine, but I don't get more than a couple of hours use out of it, so I have to charge my ipod after every use. Not worth the money.

The tools supplied will scratch and damage the iPod. Do not use it to open it. It should not be metal screwdrivers. One of the screwdrivers is a Philip, which is not even needed. Basically wrong tools supplied. The battery fits well. Does not last as long as the original battery, not does it allows a full charge. It stops 2 to 5 times before achieving full charge. Works ok overall.
