Actually, if it is using a Li-ion battery (which I assume), then its lifetime is pretty much defined. Li-ion batteries have a cycle time that is limited to two to three years.

But they have one drawback: a limited lifespan. Lithium ion batteries are particularly susceptible to aging; as soon as one leaves the manufacturing line, its countdown begins. A typical lifespan is two to three years, whether it is ever used or not -- as some disgruntled owners of Apple Computer Corp.'s iPod found when their digital music players suddenly went dead. A huge hullabaloo ensued.
