It covers the 60GB and 80GB iPod Video models, plus the 120GB and 160GB iPod Classic variants. OEM part numbers 616-0232, B5LAA, B6DAH, and 696-0106 all cross-reference to this cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eiPod Video and Classic platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same internal battery bay dimensions, connector pinout, and BMS communication protocol across the fifth and sixth generation iPod lines. The cell measures 46.49 × 20.31 × 9.17mm and seats without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this cell in a 5th-gen iPod Video. The BMS accepted the charge handshake immediately, progressed through CC\/CV phases cleanly, and the fuel gauge initialised without error on first boot after install.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-swap charge cycle on iPod media players:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing a replacement cell, charge the iPod fully before first use. Units that have sat dormant can enter a deep-discharge protection state where the BMS blocks normal charge current until a slow trickle pre-charge completes. Plugging into a wall adapter rather than a computer USB port delivers more consistent current for this recovery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery percentage jumping erratically after a cell swap on iPod Classic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe iPod Classic uses a voltage-threshold system to estimate charge level — there is no coulomb counter recalibrating in real time. When a new cell goes in, the firmware's stored voltage-to-percentage table no longer matches the discharge curve of the fresh cell. The indicator can jump from 80% to 20% or skip readings entirely during the first few cycles. Run two or three full charge and discharge cycles to let the firmware re-anchor its thresholds to the new cell's actual voltage curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003ePlayback cutting out before the battery indicator shows empty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe audio amplifier inside the iPod Video draws a surge of current during playback, especially at higher volumes. At the tail end of a discharge, cell voltage sags under that load and can drop below the BMS cutoff threshold even though the displayed percentage still reads above zero. This is a voltage-sag issue, not a capacity defect. If cutout happens consistently at the same point in a session, charge the device and check that the battery contacts on the logic board are clean and seated flat against the cell terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43381351874650,"sku":"BWCS-IPOD60ML-1","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43381351907418,"sku":"BWCS-IPOD60ML-2","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43381351940186,"sku":"BWCS-IPOD60ML-3","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-IPOD60ML-1.webp?v=1778900214","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/apple-ipod-video-60g-replacement-battery-37v-700mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
