I bought one of these batteries brand new however I could not seem to make it work with my iPod. My solution for this dilemma was to simply return it for my money back and to order this brand new 100 hour iPod battery called the GeekPod 100 from batterygeek.net. I learned about it from a positive review of it Macworld magazine and it has been giving my iPod tons of run time. So far so good...

Okay, you can pay Apple 59$ to replace your battery and have it last another year and last only 7 hours a charge or you can get this item, which will last a full work week and can be recharged 400 times (that's seven years of battery life IF you use it forty hours a week). The math is simple. It is a bit heavy but I don't wear my ipod on my belt. Excellent alternative to Apple's bad battery engineering.

I got this from Amazon, thinking it would be so great to have it. Well; first of all they shipped it to L.A. by ground all the way from Chicago, and you can just imagine how long that took. I waited patiently, and when it arrived I thought; finally, I'll be able to use my ipod for more than an hour at a time. Straight out of the sealed packaging, the battery did not work; it wouldn't charge no matter what I did with it.

When I called BTI, they told me that it was likely defective because Amazon sent me an item from 'old stock', which is ridiculous because this is a new model battery that has only been available since May 05'.

I had no choice but to send it to the manufacturer, and had to pay for the shipping myself. That was a week ago, and I'm still waiting for the replacement from BTI, which at this rate could very well also be defective. If so I'll have to try to return it to Amazon this time, and that will be at least three weeks of my life wasted.

If you really need this product, and like me have a dying ipod and can't waste weeks upon weeks waiting to receive a battery that actually works, do yourself a favor and go to the nearest Radio Shack where they sell it for half the price, you can have it in your hands immediately, and if it doesn't work you can go to the actual store and return it on the same day. I only wish I was aware of this when I made the purchase from Amazon...
