Is It Possible To Change The PW3 Battery?

I bought a used PW3 from ebay less than a month ago. At first it seemed fine, but I'm now realising that the battery is running down very quickly. Even when not in use it will use about 10% battery power in approximately 6 hours.

It isn't indexing. I've checked. I only load about five books at any time and keep the usb plugged in to allow for indexing and to charge the reader.

I wonder if the previous owner sold the PW3 because the battery was bad? There isn't a scratch on the screen and it works perfectly otherwise.

So I've been wondering if there's a way to change the battery. This used to be possible on the old Sonys, such as the prs 505. Is it possible with the PaperWhites?

Thanks in advance.
