The ipod creates the illusion that it is permanently sealed, which it isn't. I think I got the battery shipped for less then $10.

Since he brought the IPOD in2007 from Costco, I kinda doubt if he has a mini or click, I could be wrong. The nano, any generations requires desoldering to remove the battery and soldering to install a new battery. Unless you have some experience working with minature circuit boards, most people who attempts to replace the battery end up ruining the circuit board and thus the Ipod is trash. I have brought my share of Ipod nanos that people brought a battery for and tried to replace only to end up selling to me for practically nothing on eBay. That is how I am able to have a music library of over 18,000 songs.
