There have been threads here which provide the model number to get a new battery and step to replace it. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined the procedure didn't look to difficult.

My 500 was used for about a year then I bough my Kindle. So, the battery is still in good shape. I keep thinking I should sell it to a good home where it will be used and loved... but I haven't.
