MCMConcepts 2000mAh Square Battery Replacement for iPod Video/Classic Thin 5th-7th Gen

Fantastic replacement. Cable is the original size but because the battery is larger, it ends up being too long. Pretty easy fix for anyone who has ever worked in a device, just fold part of the long cable over onto itself, and give it a loose crease. Do not crease it hard or you likely will break the internal copper traces in the ribbon. I also used some double sided adhesive to get it to stick better where the only battery was. Fit perfectly with a thin 7th Gen using an imcort dual micro SD adapter for the drive replacement. I got over 60 hours of continuous music playback before it finally gave up (I had to go to bed so not sure on the exact, but I sent to bed with 8% left at the 60 hour mark) Works perfectly, and seems to hold a charge pretty well. Just don't trust the percentage in rockbox, it's rarely accurate and it's more an estimate

This battery actually works and it last for hours. The setup was a bit tricky, but gotten used to it. I bought a 3800 thick battery from the same seller and it blocked the rewind & fast-forward button and I accidentally broke the flex cable in the process of fixing it up and I accidentally made my OEM battery a spicey pillow, so it's all my mistakes. I ordered it and installed it into my now modified iPod classic 5.5th gen and it actually works. Turns on like normal and it does what it said. To install this; it'll take research of repairing skills, patience, and a lot of carefullness. Pry off the backplate, slide this under the flex cables of the lock switch & headphone jack, use painter's tape to make it stay in place, carefully slide it in the brown interlocker slot by the charging port, and done. It also fits well, unlike the 3800 thick one as memtioned earlier.

so far no issues, if you install it properly it’ll boot up and hold charge no problem, by my estimation at least 3x longer than stock ipod classic battery (120gb)

I installed this upgraded battery in my iPod 5.5th Gen (30GB model) about a week ago, and I’m honestly blown away by the results. Installation was pretty easy if you’ve opened one of these iPods before — the battery fit fine, and everything closed up clean with no issues. No bulging, no loose parts, just a solid fit. The performance has been excellent. Since installing the new battery, I haven’t run out of charge once. I’ve used the iPod for hours at a time — mostly during walks and while working — and the battery just keeps going. I’ve barely even thought about charging it. Just syncing songs on the computer over the past few days has been enough to keep the battery topped up. This one simple upgrade brought my iPod back to life. It feels dependable again, like when it was brand new. If you’re still using a classic iPod and want to keep it going strong, this battery mod is 100% worth it. Highly recommended.

Very high quality battery. I haven’t charged my iPod in over a month and it’s still at 80%. I use it once or twice a week for about 30-60 minutes, with wired headphones. So far, I couldn’t say better about it. Fit perfectly in a slim with a dual flash (the new one, not iflash)

Excellent product, fit perfectly in my Ipod 7th Classic in combination with my iflash Solo. The battery lasts a significant long time, I am going well over a well with light/moderate use and have roughly 40% battery power left.

Battery was a great replacement, but make sure you have the thick back shell if you want to use the original hard drive. You need the extra space the flash mod gives you if you opt for the original slim back shell.

First week of working with this, it worked like a charm, but with major red flags. I bought this off a whim after mistakenly buying the wrong battery for my iPod model and iFlash board. Popped it in easy , and the first few days, I prepped as needed and it worked great, being able to last a decent while, but still dying unusually quickly compared to what I thought. As the weekend came around, the signals were showing and the battery percentage was dropping rapidly. As of today, it has been a week of having it and it has become completely shot. Checking through Rockbox, the battery's voltage is reading 3.46 and has been dropping WHILE CHARGING. It is clearly a dud and am very dissapointed with this. Would not recommend, even if desperate as was my case. I would consider buying from Elite Obsolete Electronics or Resale Firm, although the latter's communication is terrible, they at least deliver working products for more competitve prices compared to this overpriced ticking time bomb.

Excelente producto

Le da aproximadamente una semana de uso diario a mi iPod classic 5. Eso si, es más grande que la de fábrica, por lo que solo podrá instalarse si ya se ha hecho flash mod con la iflash quad o solo

Se ve como un buen producto, el tamaño y la capacidad corresponde a la página, pero apenas tengo unos días usando entonces no sé que tanto vaya a durar, esperemos que por lo menos varios años

La bateria venia inflada
