The iPod battery identification guide walks you through identifying the correct battery type for your iPod.  On many of the iPods, the "Year Manufactured" and "Memory Capacity" is listed on the back of the unit.  This combined with the advanced information links should provide you with sufficient cross-references to determine the iPod model.
 
The iPod model listing below in chronological order based on year introduced.  Each years models are color coded for easy reference.  We also discuss the scrolling device type which is also a unique indicator for each model.  When in doubt, you also have the option of emailing a picture of the backside to TopTechies.  eMail TopTechies
 
 
Steps for iPod Battery Identification:
  1. Determine the year the iPod was manufactured.  This is usually on the backside of the iPod in very small letters towards the bottom. Note: Not all iPods contain the the manufacture date.
  2. Determine the memory capacity of the iPod.  This is always on the backside of the iPod.  Cross-check this information with the list below.
  3. Use the picture and the advanced information link to learn more about that particular model and further narrow the options.
  4. Use the battery link to the right to review the purchase and installation information.
