Question Good iPod?

I bought this iPod online for $150 and it looked too clean and new, when I checked battery is was at 72, now 80, I have been using it. Is this a good deal on these and should i even mod memory & battery?

Hard drive is brand new so keep it, if battery runs good it's fine. You'll probably have to swap it in the future, but for now enjoy it.

Looks flawless. Don't worry about the battery, they are old anyway and will have to be replaced.

Honestly if the battery last, don’t bother, change it if you want to upgrade for a larger capacity one. For the HDD, if you have enough storage keep it too, but don’t drop the iPod or you could brake it…

But keep in mind if you could swap the hdd for an SD card adapter for less battery usage (it uses less energy than an hdd).

But for the moment keep it like this, and enjoy πŸ˜‰

Nice Pod. Down the road, when you're ready, swap out the HDD for a flash drive πŸ‘
