Hi Becky,
That's a fair thing to weigh up. We can't give you a set number of years, because battery life depends a lot on how the iPod is used. Lithium-ion batteries wear with charge cycles and heat, so one that's charged daily and used for hours will fade sooner than one that comes out a few times a week. What you can expect is that a new battery behaves like new at first, then slowly loses capacity the same way your original did.

To get the most out of it, avoid leaving it in a hot car, and don't store it fully drained for long periods. Whether it's worth it usually comes down to the rest of the iPod. If the screen, buttons and storage are all fine, a battery is often the only thing standing between you and a fully working device.

The battery replacement is currently $99.99 and carries our 90-day warranty. Your music stays on it.
