iPod Nano 6th Gen Battery Replacement From Start To Finish.

[@Oidium45]

Thanks for the vid! You made replacing the battery in my sons nano super easy! Put a smile on the kids face :)

[@FixItPlanet1]

That is awesome!

[@fidedavalos]

I watched this vide just because your voice is so soothing!

[@rjunior0792]

Really well explained. Thank you!

hmmm i bet a 501235 3.7V 180mAh battery would fit... its 5mm thick instead of the OG battery which is ~2.5mm, but it doesnt have nearly as much wasted dimensions from the crimp around the parameter and is several years newer design. could probably find those extra 2.5mm by gluing around the battery and either leaving the "metal bracket" off or cutting it across so it doesnt cover on top of the battery. im sure there is a mm or two tolerance by design due to battery expansion. this simple change would increase the capacity by 80% and also would be much cheaper as a generalized battery source.

Thank you man. After I've replaced all correctly my nano didn't get "on" so I couldn't understand why, even after connecting the recharge wire the same. So I firstly thought it was a bad new battery and just welded again an old one to make sure it still works. And fortunalty it was. After that I've welded again a new battery but before closing everythin I've connected the wire for recharge as you did in this video just to make sure it works. Don't know how but I did it !

[@justinmoss]

Thank you for the excellent closeups and instructions!

[@Criiies]

Snipping the wires was pretty smart, most other tutorials show them removing the whole board to desolder the battery directly.

Thanks very much for this video. As you said, I am waiting for better times without "Pandemia". Greetings from Costa Rica, Central America.

[@thoushaltfall7427]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@magicninja7303]

Very helpful video thanks

[@rustyshackleford4614]

I hope you see this. I got this ipod and it's full charge only while plugged in to the wall charger. When its unplugged it turns off. Think changing the battery will help? Thank you

[@NonStopK1o]

LO SOLUCIONASTE tengo el mismo problema solo conectado prende y lo desconecto y se apaga

[@r9p0m7p8]

Thank you for the video! Excellent quality...

[@FixItPlanet1]

Thank you

Where could I find a replacement battery for this that was manufactured *recently* (not ten years ago)? I once tried to find a battery for a retired Gameboy Advance (made in 2004). The battery I received LOOKED new...mint in package and still factory sealed. However, it was *manufactured* over ten years ago, so it was already dead before I even bought it. This iPod Nano is almost 10 years old. Are there any battery manufacturers that still make batteries for old Apple and Nintendo devices? (I’m looking for a Kindle battery as well)

[@Charky_Creations]

FWIW, this is probably a standard sized battery that's still in production. the GBA SP is a special case, as they put their batteries in... well, a special case. They don't produce the shells any more, but there's now a mod you can do which lets you fit a standard battery into the SP.

[@Vmurph]

@@Charky_Creations Thanks! Where can I find that mod, and what is it called? As far as the GBA SP’s battery case, if I could find what went IN the case, I could simply open up one of my dead ones and put the new one that case. But I’d love to find that mod.

[@Charky_Creations]

@@Vmurph it's generally called the "makho battery mod" after the guy who designed it, but it's basically just a pcb that you solder the cell to so it creates contacts for the SP. You can do it yourself or buy one prebuilt.

[@Vmurph]

Thank you @@Charky_Creations!!

[@naomilarson2289]

I can’t seem to get the screen to sit flat without hurting the digitizer. Any ideas?

[@adrotoscroto6501]

It doesn't exactly sit flat. I has to pop out a bit

[@ls-ys1ow]

you have to remove the sticker of the battery as it adds a little thickness to it. you can also press/put a little pressure to the battery's circuit so you can align it with its thickness/height. 😊😊😊

[@zackmaldonado3058]

i got mines a month ago and my battery drains pretty quickly im not sure why it was brand new at most times when i listened to music for like 5 minutes of my workout it dies hope i can get help on this

[@Akashsk8]

its cause the stock of these ipod nano 6th gen is very old. they stopped manufacturing these soo many years ago and since then these batteries have been sitting ducks unused which kills the batteries. just replace the battery and you should be fine

[@corinneghastin9126]

Great video! So... is there a link to buy a new screen if I maybe went in a little too far? Live and learn!

[@GT6mangt]

What is the 2mm glue tape that you use. Great video btw

[@FixItPlanet1]

You can find a link to some of the adhesive we used here fixitplanet.com/tool-list

[@msyanicat19]

What does the primer do? Is it necessary?

[@msyanicat19]

BTW this was a really good video. I haven't learned soldering yet but I'd like to.

[@FixItPlanet1]

The primer gives the adhesive a stronger bond.

[@FixItPlanet1]

Excellent!

[@sookyean1990]

Is it worth it to send one in for this? I'm asking this because I have one that needs battery replacement, otherwise it works well plugged in. I don't have the equipment mentioned . :(

[@R3DBPL]

You can get the parts and battery on aliexpress for fairly cheap

[@thomasdiano2356]

you can use a blowdryer and something thin to take out the display then use a screwdriver to take out the screws and replace the battery

[@rubenortega6413]

Hey what happened to the metal plate that was removed in the first half of the the video? The metal plate which separated the screen from battery and other pieces. Where you mentioned how tiny the screws were.

[@FixItPlanet1]

We put back in here at 18:46 fussing about it all the way thru.

[@RappersDelight808]

thanks for that video, ive decided im not going to buy a dead batt one now haha

[@natzukaillustrator]

guonderful

[@ultimatejay9872]

I have a ipod but it's battery has puffed and the buttons don't click what can I do

[@FixItPlanet1]

Replace the battery.

[@ultimatejay9872]

@@FixItPlanet1 ok thanks

[@leomonz]

I was thinking if we can just skip putting the metal piece in.... Was it necessary like (Heat Sink)... or it is not that important...

[@todogenial119]

It’s there to isolate the screen and it’s wire from the rest of the motherboard

[@TN-bm6dh]

How did you know the battery is bad? Maybe the charger?

[@thomasboehm7977]

Thank you so much !!!!

[@FixItPlanet1]

You're welcome!

[@austinsaju]
