Looks like the battery in my 4G iPod is going to need replaced soon. Thanks for the info guys! It's good to know I'm not going to have to buy a whole new iPod

Well the reason I'm looking at the battery service is because there's basic wear and tear but my screen has one deep scratch in it. For anyone who has used this, how much of a hassle is the Battery Service, are there alot of hidden charges and stuff, and also, what are the chances that I will get a 4th or 5th (preferably 5th) generation iPod. If I'm going to get another 3rd, I'll just get a new battery, as what I really want are some of the new features on the iPods.
Thanks everyone
In regard to the one deep scratch on your iPod, a simple cure: Buy a pack of re-adhesable screen protector films for your ipod (available at Best Buy, Future Shop, Circuit City etc.). The adhesive on one side of the film actually fills the scratches on your ipod screen. My roommate has a 30 gig video that he had with him everyday unprotected in his pocket at work for several months, with his keys, change etc. His screen is so scratched, that when the backlight is on, the light is deflected at every possible angle over the entire screen, giving it that light-through-a-crystal look. I gave him one of the films I got for my new 80 gig, and now, even when held up to light, theres not a single visible scratch on it. It looks like it came right out of the box. Best 16 bucks I ever spent.
Does anyone know who sells the best, highest capacity battery for the 4th Gen iPod???
I was wondering the same thing earlier today...after several google searches, I finally decided to pay a little more and order the top of the line replacement from iPodJuice.com. The battery I ordered is 1200 mAh and is supposed to last 2x as long as the original 4G battery.
Other sites had cheaper batteries, but the highest capacity I could find (excluding iPodJuice.com) was 1100 mAh.
Another reason I went with iPodJuice.com was that the quality of the tools they supply to open the iPod case seemed to be of much higher quality than the competitors.
I should have the battery in a few days; I'll repost with my impressions.

Or not. My flippin iPod's hard drive just crashed. This is very frustrating...
Brilliant site, thanks a lot!
It's amazing all the sites I've actually looked for that information on without finding anything near the content on this site.
Yeah, so I'm noticing how terrible these batteries are for FLAC > Rockbox > Pocketdock > RA-1 > MS-1 on my 5.5 30 GB. Seriously it's barely making it through a few hours. Not terribly thrilled about that.
