New battery transplant from Ipod nano it works fine

I purchased this from a HK based vendor and was stung. Although at the price I paid it wasnt worth the effort to send it back. It should of had 4gb but only had 1gb when I used the HP format tool. Anyway the battery on this unit was poor, so I began to look for a replacement. I found this on ebay and purchased it with the base that if it didnt fit I could sell it on.

If you try this mod just connect the red and black wire the white wire does not need to be soldered into place just cover the end with a little tape to prevent a short.
I hope this help anyone with a battery dead player.
ps the ebay seller name was bidatbid and is no longer registerted with ebay.

You can also just buy the original battery!

The Ipod nano battery is 370ma@3.7v which should last 60% longer than the 200ma@3.7v standard battery that was inside my mp4 so its worth consideration if you require longer play time between charges. I have also seen 400ma@3.7v these in theory would give 100% extra playtime over the standard replacement battery. but would cost about £5.00.

graylinghunter , i was wondering, the other time when i opened my player and measured the maximum allowable space for the battery. The ipod nano battery could not fit into it, it was too wide or long. How did you solve this problem? Or did it happen that the space in your player allowed the ipod nano battery?

The nano battery is a perfect snug fit. No room to spare but fits all the same I can post a pic if you want

I have seen a 400mAH in Maplians for £9.98

When I get the mp4 player I will check it out and keep you posted. 8-10 hours play time would be worth the money!!!
