That should work OK, but given the age of the 505, might it not be better simply to replace it with a more modern device? Buying a new battery and an external charger is going to cost you a significant fraction of the cost of a new reader, and modern "Carta" eInk screens are enormously better than the screen of the 505 - much, much more contrast, and hence easier to read. Plus you have all the benefits that frontlighting brings in terms of being able to read in poor light.
