This is used to add USB C support to a 4th generation monochrome iPod. It may work in other models physically (like the iPod Photo) but electrically it is compatible with all iPods that support USB.

Please see my github for more information, install instructions, and a full BOM: https://github.com/makhowastaken/ipod_usb_c

Works well with 603048 batteries. 1.6mm will likely work better than 0.8mm (haven’t tested 0.8mm) and 1.6mm works perfectly fine.

These are the specific batteries I ordered: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33001664276.html but there may be higher quality or cheaper options (or both).

Slightly tweaked version of the LED board from https://github.com/insidegadgets/LiPo-Battery-Gauge to fit with OSHpark’s minimum size requirements. Please see https://github.com/makhowastaken/iG-LiPo-Battery-Gauge for more info. Goes nicely with https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/5IOiieSn

Recommended be ordered at 0.8mm but thicker should also work.
