Yes, with a little modification you can use an ipod 4g battery:

I use a 1000mAh now. I didn't do any runtime tests, but I think it's more than 20 hours.

They also pop up on eBay, occasionally - anywhere from $12 to $25, before shipping.

Ipod 4G batteries are all over ebay, just make sure you get the real Cameron Sino batteries. I bought a fake one at first and I got about 18 hours, bought a real one and got around 24. There's almost no physical difference between batteries so it's actually pretty hard to tell the difference.
