You'd have to disassemble the device to get to the battery and be handy with a soldering iron.
I'm not sure how easy a replacement battery is to get, but AnotherCat supplied the part number in another thread for getting it from Sony.

In case not known how to get into the device (and no responsibility taken by me in the following  ) there are a lot of internal clips inside each edge. With the reader face down on a cloth or similar on a flat hard surface use a unclipping tool (or make one from a thin piece of rigid plastic) and start at one top corner and work along the top, then one side starting from the top, other side working from the top, then the bottom.
As you say, 3 wires to solder to board. |

Here's a link to the device's service manual...

Sony will do the replacement for you, but it's around $70
according to the thread mentioned above. For $30 more you can get a brand new T2. :shrugs:
