This is interesting. Does anyone know about the "shelf life" of such a battery - i.e. if I buy it now (when I don't need a new battery), will it be usable in say 1 or 2 years when I do need it? I don't mean will it have a charge, I mean will it still charge and work OK?

Oh nice, I'll have to pick one up I think.

If you buy one, charge it before putting it away - Lithium batteries don't last their rated life when discharged

Actually, Lithium Poly batteries should be stored at around 40% charge.

Shows $26.99 for a Rayovac 1500MAH battery from Batteries Plus, item # HHD10011. Not sure why anyone would purchase the aftermarket over the genuine part at a higher price but to each their own.

So how hard is it to replace a battery on the Nook Classic?

gtriever · 01-29-2011, 07:08 AM

Pop the back cover off, the battery cover door has one screw holding it closed. Remove cover door, and take the old battery out. Reverse to install.

Easy-peasy.

Keep in mind, these batteries have a lifespan based on the date of manufacture. This means it will die in 2-3 years regardless of whether you use it or not.

Thanks for that piece of info chas0039. Guess I'll wait till I really need one!

Glad to help. I spent a few month reading up on a website forum just devoted to batteries and chargers. It is amazing what those engineers know!
