I also experience a crash of the 505 with some books, but I don't know the reason for it, but it's not the battery IMO. Try sigil or calibre to resafe as ebook, maybe without a cover.
Please keep us informed, when you change the battery. I don't know if the thermistor issue affects the 505, too. If it works for you, I like to know which brand you used.
