I would imagine its not very hard to replace the battery yourself. I've never taken apart a nano but the big iPods aren't that difficult. Might as well give it a try if you found it.

If just found the ipod and didnt pay for it then I wouldn't send it back. Try this. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1835131,00.asp

it takes like 5 min and the battery and installation should be about $50. just the battery is like $30, and you can do it yourself, i changed teh battery on my 3G and it came out fine

nahh, dont ebay batteries and stuff. Its way easier to get fucked over with batteries because its really hard to tell if they are new or not. And also iPod's are crap. Go Creative.
