I have a little SANYO IPod I use when I do my daily walk. Lately, it won't hold a charge very long, and now won't come on at all. I'm assuming the battery is shot. The manual talks about charging the battery but doesn't mention anything about replacment. Are these little IPods just something made to throw away and replace, or can the battery be changed? It doesn't actually look like the unit is made to be opened. Thanks

There is no such thing as a Sanyo ipod. Do you have a sanyo or do you have an ipod?

Apple iPod batteries can be replaced by a service center so perhaps your Sanyo MP3 player's batteries can also....

batteries
Scroll down the left side to the ipod/mp3 area. I ordered a garmin battery and it came with a tiny tool kit to open it with.

They make changing kits for apple ipod they can be found on amazon.com
I would google Sanyo mp3 battery and see Ipod you have to take it apart unsolder wires and stuff or send it back to apple and they will charge to change battiersm, maybe sanyo will too.

Thanks pete42. Of course, what I meant to say was just Sanyo. Sounds like it'll be easier to buy a new one.

Actually, the correct name is SANSA. Things take on a whole new meaning when I wear my bifocals. Thanks to all of you who responded.

You can get replacement batteries, there is a chain store called "Batteries Plus" that stocks them and I believe will replace them for you too. However the Sansa players are pretty inexpensive now and you can probably buy a brand new one for not much more. We used the Sansa players here for several years, good little players. We've since switched over to IPods though.

That's what I was thinking too, Y-Guy. Probably cheaper to just buy a new one. This one lasted almost two yars and gets used a lot.
