This new 1800mAh NuPower battery model offers 46 percent more capacity than the battery Apple installed into first- and second-generation iPod models, and is available for the same $29.95 the original 1600mAh battery was offered at. The ultra-high capacity 2100mAh NuPower offering 70 percent more capacity for the same models also remains available for $39.95.

“The demand for our high-capacity iPod battery line has been quite intense since its introduction a few months ago,” said Larry O’Connor, president of OWC. “In keeping with our traditions, we’ve had no problem ramping up to supply the ever-increasing demand, and we have further improved our product line with this new 1800mAh model. The exponential growth in both our retail and dealer sales for all of our NewerTech batteries is no surprise, being that they offer the longest runtimes available.”

NewerTech’s replacement batteries for 1- and 2G iPods are the highest capacity iPod batteries available, and may be purchased from OWC or other fine retailers. Similarly, NewerTech’s 850mAh replacement battery for 3G iPods is the highest capacity battery for that popular model of the ubiquitous music player as well. NewerTech iPod batteries, while using the same Li-Polymer technology as the Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPod batteries they replace, take advantage of today’s technology advances for longer runtime and operational lifetime. NewerTech iPod batteries also include two non-scratching installation tools and a detailed instruction manual to guide users smoothly through the installation process.

“This is the ultimate win-win situation,” O’Connor said. “Not only are our batteries very cost effective and easy to install, they also give iPod owners more freedom to ‘jam’ longer without external power. We’ve made a lot of first-, second- and third-generation iPod owners very happy, and even make it easy to listen your iPod via your car stereo with our $19.99 RoadTrip!™ FM transmitter. Now anyone can jam at home or on the road for longer than ever with the solutions by NewerTech.”
