Need Reccomendations

[xanis]

Can anyone refer me to a company who does iPod battery replacements? I have a mini, and for some reason my battery life is down to somewhere around 3 hours, which is obviously no good. What I need is a reputable company who will install a new and better battery in my mini. Cost is really not an obstacle here, but I would rather not spend more than $50 (not including shipping) for this whole thing. Oh, and don't refer me to Apple.

Buy your own battery and do it yourself?

damn I didn't think the mini suffer from this battery problem as well

@ ironcrotch: The Mini is notoriously difficult to get apart, and if I separate the case from the main section to hard, the data cable will rip, and my Ipod is done for, so I would rather have someone who knows what they are doing complete the installation.

Anyone else?

Won't all batteries eventually suffer from this problem?

Yep. I believe you're thinking of "the memory effect".

1. It's disposable, I'm told... so why bother with it?
