This 1900 battery takes absurdly long to charge. It doesn't seem to even charge in stock fw.

Anybody know where to buy these batteries? I've been looking in the usual places but have drawn a blank.
It's size is roughly the equivalent to two standard thin iPod batteries, side by side.
It fitted really well in a thin iPod with a 256GB msata SSD.
I just asked Alex for the smaller battery (instead of the super large 2000mAh):
Here's my setup: A 512GB iPod Video/Classic with an extended-life battery and internal Bluetooth

Hows that BT mod been running?

Works well. Unfortunately, it is a little touchy when in my pocket since the metal interferes with the signal, but generally, it's not an issue. It sounds great and I use the bluetooth everyday.

Team,
After 20 years, man that was a long time, on the Ipod(s) I'm moving on to another device.
Before I go I would like to thank all those on this thread that help me in times of dispair, and for extending the life of our much loved Ipods when Apple abandoned us.
Special thanks to Tarkan for the adapter so that I could have two 500G Ipods.
To those working on your Ipods get a set of tools from ifixit to make your life easier to open the Ipods and not ruin the battery connector like I did, (I ruined two).
Keep on Ipoding!!
Cheers,
Bana

Just don't expect the same user experience (UI and features) once you leave the iPod world. Unless you go for an AK DAP or a Sony. Almost all DAPs out there have buggy and spotty UI. Worse, missing or totally not working basic functions for a Dap. I don't see myself totally leaving the ipod until mine is totally dead and no more available parts to repair it. Once you find the right headphones/earphones it still very competitive with any TOTL setup costing US 2K + today.
My biggest problem with DAPs these days is battery life.

After much research, and soul searching I decided on the Sony NW-WM1Z. From all reports, as I will not have it in my hands until later today, Sony did an excellent job with the DAP in general and UI and the battery life seems excellent. Folks on the Sony forum swear by it.
I'm keeping my Ipods as a backup just in case.

i was hoping that with all the activity in the DAP market these days that Apple would return to the market, but that idea seems dead.

It's just trending towards purely digital. Apple has no interest in niche market.

It looks like i could throw this thing from 3th floor and it would only get some scratches, looks skookum, but for 2.700$ with only one sd slot, i don't think its a great buy, you could have an ipod with 1tb bit battery and a good external dac for way less

My friend, coming from 20 years on Ipods,I can honestly say after just four hours of listening, The sound is unbelievable, clear, quiet, able to drive my IE800 and HD800 without taking a breath.
Just listened to Film & the BBs, "big notes". Breathtaking!!
