Easy enough to install but the battery is nothing like the original one. Even after I had my 5G for 3 years, the original battery held a much longer charge than this does. This one is often down to 1/2 after a few hours use. Many times it has gone from 1/2 to dead just by sitting unused for a couple days. If you can find another battery option, go for it. This one works but I find myself having to recharge it far more often than with the original battery.
