So I've started thinking it might be nice to be able to go a day without charging my 3-G iPod which I will not be giving up just yet.

The battery life is terrible!

There are $40-something kits to replace it yourself at Future Shop but I just need the battery and that seems like too much to pay. All I need is a battery, not a cd-rom to guide me through the procedure and a tool that will work the same as a guitar-pick...

Anyone had any luck in buying a suitable battery? I live in Montreal, would prefer picking something up instore but could order online too.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I hadn't thought to try CanadaRAM. OWC is a great store too - good to know someone out there still sells 3G iPod accessories (iSkins are still available, who knew?)

I got mine at CanadaRAM. Good service, fast shipping, reasonable price, no customs or brokerage crap.

Got mine off of eBay, Extremely cheap (roughly 20.00 total and it came with tools) and the battery had a higher capacity than the original

iPod Battery kits

The Source by Circuit City. They have several to choose from depending on which iPod you have. Around 40 bucks. Comes with toolkit etc.
