So the PRS-950 with the new battery can be loaded and indeed can be used for reading as before! All other functionality is available. Hope it will now work for the next 10 years...
I'm happy to hear that. Thank you for reporting your experience! Down the line I'm probably going to need to do this. (Probably should save the hack HTML file locally.) But it does bother me a bit that people sell replacement batteries for the PRS-950 that aren't really replacement batteries.
