But before you go through the replacement process, make sure your wifi and 3g are off and then see how much battery time you get. Sometimes, the connection does not go into standby (it happened to me on the PRS950 one day when it was constantly trying to download a corrupted file - an issue of the Financial Times) and, if that's the case, your battery could drain in as little as 4-6 hours, as you describe.
You mentioned above about replacing the PRS-900 battery. Any ideal where to obtain 950 battery? I have been hunting for the source for the 950 battery but no luck so far. This information will be of great help to owners of 950 since it has been in the market for over 3 years.
