This lithium-ion polymer replacement battery is compatible with various Apple iPod Video and iPod Classic models and is designed to replace a worn or defective internal battery.

The battery carries the reference part number 616-0229 and features a nominal voltage of 3.7 volts and a capacity of 650mAh.

It is particularly compatible with the Apple iPod Video 5th and 5.5th Generation with 30GB storage (A1136) and Apple iPod Classic 80GB and 120GB models (A1238), provided the existing battery design and connection match.

The battery may also be suitable for certain iPod Classic 160GB models with a slim housing.

With compact dimensions of approximately 46 × 20 × 6mm, the battery is designed for internal installation in compatible iPod models.

The integrated long, angled flexible connection cable allows the battery to connect to the battery connector on the mainboard.

Over time, lithium-ion batteries gradually lose capacity. This can significantly reduce battery life and may cause unexpected shutdowns or problems powering on the device.

Replacing an ageing battery may help restore the portable functionality and operating time of the iPod.

This is a compatible aftermarket replacement battery manufactured by a third party and is not an original Apple product.
