Like Ken, I'm a JetBook Lite fan.

That being said, I have replaced batteries on MP3 players and other devices that were designed to be expensive disposables. It depends on the user's skills to a great degree, but Lithium batteries can throw some unexpected curves. Just ask the engineers at Boeing.

Be very, very sure your replacement battery is really intended to be a compatible replacement battery -- electrical characteristics are important. Physical size is important. How much glue and adhesive padding the manufacturer used can make the job even more of a hassle.

The first time I charge up any device with a replaced lithium battery I do it in the garage, on a concrete floor, with nothing flammable near it.

That being said, it is often possible. Good luck!
