The T series battery is not user replaceable. However, I used my PRS-T1 for approximately 5 years before giving up on it and the battery was certainly still usable at that point. (I quit using it due to frequent dictionary freeze and the fact it was no longer able to directly download Overdrive books.)
I had bought my T3 to have as a reserve and had it in a drawer for probably a couple of years before I started using it. Been using it for a couple years now and battery is still OK.
Over in the Sony section of the Mobileread forum there are several people (RCentros being the first who comes to mind - he is quite the collector!) who have bought used Sonys from ebay, Goodwill etc. and been happy with them. So if the OP could get one cheap it may be worth the risk regarding the battery.
