Apple iPod battery upgrade: 21 hours, 3 minutes runtime with NewerTech’s 2100mAh battery
Ed Steele September 21, 2004 
This excellent iPod hack comes to us from Russell P.:
“www.xlr8yourmac.com is reporting that after replacing their 1st gen
iPod battery with the NewerTech’s 2100mAh battery they went from getting 4
hours of play time to 21 hours of play time. Cost was $39.99. Took them five minutes to change the battery.”
Wow…there’s one reason why I didn’t want an iPod marked off my list – thanks for the fantastic tip, Russell!
Updated: Link corrected, now works.

get me something like this for my powerbook then i’ll be impressed!
Why doesn’t this battery come standard with the iPod? By the way, the link to http://www.xlr8yourmac.com is missing ‘http://’ and is, well, dead.
That’s all fine and dandy for the 1st/2nd gen users, but where are these 21 hour batteries for us newcomers with 3rd and 4th gens? and what about minis?
I really think I’d void my warranty (only a month or two left) in order to more than double play time…
Holy !&^#*. I wonder how many hours the 4gs will get with the new power management stuff when they do release a battery for us?
