Replacing the battery in an iPod isn't like replacing the batteries in your tv's remote control. You have to disassemble the iPod - meaning break seals, unscrew things, and be very careful with electronic connections. I found a video that shows you how to take it apart and replace the battery here. It's similar, but not the same, as the directions for my 2nd gen Pod.

You can watch and decide for yourself if you want to attempt it. Good luck!
