I had thought that this would be relatively simple (similar to replacing other batteries) but it appears that it isn't worth bothering due to cost. Can anyone tell me whether my docking station is likely to be compatible with an iPod Touch 6 or is the newer one different?

    Around £90 to replace battery or £200 for new iPod and it will fit your charging station

    Both the 5th and 6th generation iPod Touch use the Lightning port for connectivity so it would work with your docking station; unless your older iPod has one of the 30 Pin ports then you!!!8217;d need an adapter..
