My apologies. I followed the link from one of the posts in this thread. I thought I was watching the 950 replacement video, but it was actually one for the 650.

It is odd that when you look at battery replacement for the Sony especially in terms of the earlier models (I haven't even really thought about the T series) that the PRS-950 seems to be notable by its absence. I guess what I meant by my earlier post was that the nearest similarity in appearance is the PRS650 and certainly when either one of my 950s becomes an expensive paperweight I will give it a go but at the moment they both work well so I don't want to jeopardise this.

NewPower99, as a company, seem to have a lot experience in this field and looking around the website for certain models of the Sony reader there does seem to be an option to send your device for a set fee for battery replacement. As for a PRS950 battery - you could always ask - the worse thing that could happen is they say - sorry can't help.
