When my iPod battery started to fail I bought a new replacement battery from http://www.laptopsforless.com/mp3playerbattery/apple-ipod-Battery and it works great. I am not much of a DIY person so a replacement battery was a much easier way to go.

I also can’t figure out the wiring of the socket. Pin 1 is power, pin 2 is ground, pins 3-6 are data. I emailed Drew and got “My guide is intended for poeple with a good knowladge of electronics, and those people could work it out pretty quickly with a multimeter. Ah well.”

Anyone figure it out?

interesting idea and a nice article.
nice picture at the top of the article, but where are the rest of the graphics?

… After the gue had dried it looked like this:

i assume that the two PP9’s are wired in parallel and
then wired to the two AA’s(in series).
to me, the critical part is the wiring of the Firewire socket.
