Fastmac ships 'longest lasting' iPod battery upgrade
This is accomplished through the use of a patented nano-particle technology called TruePower, which significantly slows the degradation of the power cells inside the battery. This allows the battery to run cooler and longer, thereby allowing Fastmac to provide the industry’s only 2-year warranty."
The company says it includes the tools necessary to install the battery. “With the non-scratch tools that we provide, installing batteries into 4th generation iPods is easier than ever,” said Michael Lowdermilk, Business Development Manager for Fastmac Performance Upgrades, Inc. “We’re the only company that also provides the Torx T6 screwdriver needed to remove the interconnect board that stands between the battery and the iPod. And, professional install is just 24 hours away for those that need it.”
The TruePower batteries are available for first- ($40), second- ($40), third- ($30), and fourth- ($30) iPods. Each battery upgrade from Fastmac carries a 2-year warranty & includes all necessary installation tools (non-scratch) and instructions. The company also offers 24-hour installation services for an additional $40: the full install service delivers a pre-paid box to the customer, allowing them to quickly and easily send the iPod to Fastmac for battery installation and return within 24 hours.
TruePower technology
"TruePower is the name of an innovative new technology designed to extend the life of ordinary Lithium Ion cells, commonly used in most rechargeable batteries. More than 4 years in development, this patented technology allows tiny ceramic particles (each less than a millionth of a millimeter in size) to be integrated into the molecular structure of the chemical binding agent found inside each Lithium Ion battery. These particles then link-in with each other & a proprietary energy management circuit to create an extremely dense and highly conductive layer on the surface of a capacitor-enhanced battery pack.
"This combination delivers the power necessary to satisfy the pulse demands placed on most batteries, whilst ensuring the protection of the Lithium cell matrix. This results in battery packs that can be recharged many more times as well as yielding longer run times per charge. Whereas ordinary battery packs start losing their power within a few months, TruePower-enhanced battery packs continue giving consistent power for long periods, allowing OEMs to offer warranties of 2 years or more."
