Every time I charge my Ipod its says low battery? If your Ipod is a few years old than it’s probably a dead battery, lithium ion batteries can only do certain number of recharges and after that it cannot hold a proper charge.
The thing that sucks about the Ipod is you cant just open it up and replace the battery, or a least not very easily but you could. Apple charges about $60 to replace the battery, but there are places online that offer Apple battery replacement kits if you feel a little ambitious and want save a few bucks then replacing the Ipod battery yourself might be worthwhile. It usually involves carefully prying the backing off with something like a putty knife and once you get the plate off the battery is right there in front of you.
This site ipodhowtovideo.com has good video tutorials on replacing ipod batteries, lcd screen and even the hard drive.
There are also services where you can send your Ipod away and they will replace the battery for you. Apple makes these Ipods to be disposable and expect consumers to replace your Ipods every few years that’s how they make money. They gotta keep you coming back for more.
