That looks soo tempting, but currently i dont need a battery so i dont know how long i would have to store it before installation. Plus we really dont know how old those replacments are. Hmmm i might jump on this if someone could convice this to me

Eh... if it's a HDD-based player, I wouldn't bother, as I would imagine the HDD would fail around the same time the battery would. Heck, my HDD is failing more quickly than my battery.

Were has it been and what does it look like?

If you can wait, I would expect a better higher capacity battery for less money will be forthcoming. The battery you showed is a OEM replacement. The battery used in the 5.5 iPod should be out which has a much higher capacity.

I have a two years old 4th gen iPod that stays in my car. I also have a 4 year old 2nd gen iPod with a high capacity replacement battery. Both run great.

70% more capacity doesn't mean 70% longer battery life. It's a snafu.
