I could have sworn the battery is physically larger as well to take advantage of the extra space the thicker HDD requires.

Well, I may be wrong, but I thought I remembered reading that the batteries were the same size.

so how much ram do they have?

32 MB on the 30 GB, 64 MB on the 60 GB.

If they were the same size, why wouldn't Apple have used the same battery in both, to give the 30GB additional life.

If you had read previous posts in the thread, you would have read this:

The larger ram accounts for the longer battery life.

The 60GB gets better battery life beacuse it has more ram. In reverse: the 30GB gets worse life because it has less ram. I hope this clears that up.

the extra ram does contribute to extra battery life, but the batteries are different sizes. i'm 90% sure this is the first time apple have used different batteries in the same class of iPod (5G being a class) having seen pictures of the insides of both i can tell you the batteries are different.

Well, then, I stand corrected.
