Got my iFlash! Once the battery arrives, I’ll be able to update my old iPod 5th generation with a fresh battery and lots of fast flash storage in place of the old spinning rust drive.

Misty (misty@digipres.club)'s status on Saturday, 20-Jan-2024 23:49:13 JST Misty Success! I now have 128GB of flash storage and a gargantuan battery - something like four and a half times the original battery capacity.
I reformatted the SD card before starting. I've heard that modern exFAT cards sometimes come preformatted with a partition layout that confuses the iPod, so I did a full reformat and then recreated it as HFS+ since I'm going to be using it on a Mac.
Getting the iPod open's a bit of a chore, but I'm getting good at it now. The plastic iFlash tools help.
