This kit contains one 580 mAh battery, blue iOpener installation tool, mini screwdriver, and detailed color instructions - everything you need to safely replace the battery in your red and black 5th Generation 30GB U2 IPOD VIDEO and increase playtime by 28 percent!

Is This the Right Kit for Me? If your IPOD is black with a red ScrollWheel, has a hard drive capacity of 30GB only, and is capable of displaying full-motion video as well as play music, this is the right kit for you! You can also review our comprehensive list just to make sure.

This is the biggest, baddest battery available for the 5th Generation 30GB U2 IPOD VIDEO today!

Compared to the original Apple battery that came in your red and black 5th Generation 30GB U2 IPOD VIDEO, our 580 mAh 3.7-volt Lithium-Ion battery provides 12 to 16 hours of music or 2 to 3 hours of video between charges.

This robust battery is titanium-free and 100 percent compatible with your 30GB U2 IPOD VIDEO, will work with your existing chargers/cables, and is guaranteed for ten years from the date of purchase.

Also included is the iOpener, a fantastic tool that opens your red and black 5th Generation 30GB U2 IPOD VIDEO without scratching it. This durable plastic tool has a sharp, wedge-shaped tip that's perfect for slipping into the tight seam on your U2 IPOD VIDEO. The long handle allows you to firmly grasp the tool and safely pry both halves of your U2 IPOD VIDEO apart. Other companies suggest using a metal screwdriver (please don't do this!) or saddle you with two cheap tools that are so flimsy, the tip bends and quickly becomes worthless. And then what do you do? Only we have the iOpener to efficiently open your device. Also included is a mini screwdriver to disconnect the old battery from the motherboard.

This kit also includes a set of the most detailed instructions available today. Our printed instructions include professionally-taken, color photographs with detailed text that walk you step-by-step through the battery replacement process. Other companies have you go it alone or give a black-and-white photocopy with fuzzy photos that fail to point out areas where additional caution is needed.

If you suspect your IPOD has water or liquid damage, we suggest setting up an order for our repair evaluation as it’s possible that a battery alone will not solve the problems that you’re having.

A little reluctant to replace the battery yourself? Let us do it for you! The new battery that we install in your device is tested out and then quickly returned back to you, usually within a few business days after it arrives. Once you've found the right battery replacement kit, scroll down and select one of our four Battery Replacement Options (do it yourself or let us install battery for you) and you'll be on your way to significantly longer playtimes!

And we understand that our customers have different levels of urgency when it comes to shipping your order. That's why we offer several domestic and international same-day shipping options during check-out.

From the Tech Bench: "Plan to spend 10 – 15 minutes on this project. One of the most challenging things about replacing the battery in the 30GB U2 IPOD VIDEO is opening up the device, a process made much easier with the iOpener. Once you get past this, it's just a matter of replacing the battery and then closing everything back up. Just take your time, go slow, follow the directions, and you'll be all set."
