If you are ambitious you can try to buy a new battery and change it yourself. I know there is another thread the specifies the battery used in the 500. Although I'm not sure if anyone has cracked one open and done this. Perhaps you can be the first, and post photos and directions. Pretty soon many 500 owners are going to want to freshen their battery.
