No, only secured with a tacky glue.  Careful use of the pry tool is enough to get it out, and the glue then happily holds the new battery in place.

pheebster:
Thanks for clarifying things for me :). I'm not as PO'd at my iPod now, since I won't have to pay Apple $60 to replace the battery when I am perfectly capable of replacing it myself with an aftermarket one.

Cassandra:
I got almost 8 hours of battery life out of my first run.  This is, I think, an improvement on the standard firmware, but still not anything like as good as the increase in mAh rating would seem to imply.

dommo:
Is there any more news on the runtime with that "uprated" battery?

Thanks :)

I don't really see the point of upgrading the internal battery when my external one lasts for 45 hours   ;)
