I got the tools. I got the new batteries. Now wish me luck for replacing the batteries of my 20+ year old iPods. A classic gen 6 and a 3rd gen Nano.
The iPod nano 3G is open. And as expected, it has a bloated battery. But that can be fixed. It is still working, so a new battery should bring it back.
@jwildeboer Have you upgraded it to larger storage? I know it can be done with some iPods, not sure about this one?
@fahrni No, it stays an 8GB iPod nano. I’m only swapping in a new battery.

@jwildeboer The Nano, like you have, is the best form factor iPod, in my opinion.

I did a little reading and they’re kind of difficult to upgrade. The standard iPod gen 4 and up are β€” apparently β€” easy to upgrade.

@fahrni I am more than happy with the 8GB, that's a lot of music already :) I also have a classic 6th gen with the 80GB hard drive, so I never felt the need to upgrade.
@jwildeboer Makes sense. πŸ‘πŸΌ
