iPod Defective Battery

iPod Defective Battery:

Apple policy states that after a period of time, that will vary depending on use and settings, you may find that your battery will power your device for only a couple of hours - requiring you to charge more frequently. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced.

iPod Owners

Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for an iPod defective battery.

You can extend your coverage to two years from the date of your iPod purchase with the AppleCare Protection Plan for iPod. During the plan's coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $49 (iPod shuffle), $59 (iPod nano and classic), $79 (iPod touch) plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.
