Hey Everyone,

I am about to purchase a used iPod mini off eBay. I know that eventually the baterry dies and it costs $99 to replace. Anyway, how long on average does a battery last before permenantley dying? (let's say he bought it when they first came out, do you think the battery will last for a while?)

Thanks For your Help :D

Depends on which generation. But on average they both last ABOUT a year and a half, two years.

all depends on the use, but it gets about 500+ charge cycles

Has anyone tried to replace their mini battery? is it pretty easy/ did you scratch it or damage it?

I was amazed at the hours I am getting for one charge thru USB port on my computer. I use my Mini at work for 10 hours and that is enough for me. I purchased an extended battery for long play but don't really use it. As far as buying used from ebay, I wouldn't do it. Pay a little more and get a product that will be covered at least for 90 days.
