Replace your iPod mini's battery

It is a fact, people love their iPod minis. Whether it is the various colors, or the solid feel of the body itself, iPod mini's will never go out of style. They will, however, eventually run out of juice. Luckily, Fstop Blues has posted a very detailed tutorial on how you can replace your iPod mini's battery yourself for about $30.

I've since upgraded to a 30gb 5g, but I replaced my mini's battery back in the day. I found a cheap battery replacement kit on eBay and it was a cinch.

Just a heads up, a good number of you who attempt to do this yourself will unfortunately break the molex connector for the clickwheel. Be extremely careful and make sure to put the pressure on the plastic connector, not on the cable!
Otherwise you may find yourself visiting us at www.ipodmods.com for a new clickwheel to match your new battery! ;)
