iPod mini Battery Stories:

The average battery life that is quoted on most iPod models is much different from the real world expectations of your iPod's performance. As an example, the iPod mini is told to have up to 8 hours of music life as advertised, but there are reports stating that this is almost impossible in real usage conditions. iPod mini batteries themselves are not designed to be removed or replaced by the users, so when you find your iPod having less and less life, what are you to do? If you are experiencing battery problems with your iPod and think that it may be time for a replacement, I recommend that you go to one of the reputable iPod mini repair sites on the internet that can guide you to ship your iPod to them so that they can take a look at it for you and then report back to you what iPod repair is needed. This will be much more advantageous to you than taking your iPod to any local repair shop, as they may or may not have the trained technicians required to give you the repair results you are looking for. If someone has told you that you will need to buy a refurbished iPod to replace the battery life, I'm sure you know by now that that is simply not true, and there are competent iPod repair sites out there that are willing and able to replace your battery for you in a small amount of time. These days, iPod mini battery replacement should be a very minimal procedure that will return your iPod quickly back to you as good as new. The site that I have worked with in the past was able to assess my iPod, replace the battery at a small cost, and have it shipped back to me promptly, and you should expect the same in your iPod repair.
