Sounds to me what you really want is your PRS-650 with a new battery. Have you looked at the options available for replacing it?

Or, if you already have whatever tools you might need ... you can save a bit by going to eBay ...

At any rate I would watch the video (on YouTube, linked at NewPower99) to see if this something you're comfortable doing.
