Thanks. That's a good thread. From what I saw there, I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to replace it. Just need to find a compatible replacement and I'm sure some will be found.

MessUP:
Treat the battery right - and it last longer!
Only change it when its low/out! (this means disable charging when plugged into pc)
When charge it - charge it fully!
Try and not to drop it!
o - btw if having battery problems - i did read somewhere (this is about laptops batterys btw), run it completely down, take it out, place it in a FREEZER, leave it in for 48 hours, take it out - fully charge it - run it down - tis charge it , freeze it - do this 4 times - and then use it normally....
Warning!This is meant only for batterys- i havent got a clue if this will mess the chips up inside it....

Keeping batteries stored at low temperatures helps prolong their life. Put the X5 in a plastic zipper bag(to prevent condensation) and place it in a fridge.

a) Lithium Polymer batteries work better if you do not keep on running them down to low power levels. Keeping them charged up does them no harm whatsoever, as far as I have been led to believe it actually keeps the cells better.
b) Not dropping a unit isn't going to help the battery, it might well keep your player a bit more alive though.
c) Only do this with the battery if possible. The cold doesn't damage circuitry, but the condensation might well do. Make sure you put them in something airtight first.
Piksou:
About point 1: Toshiba has or will very soon release a 40 GB hard disk that is compatible with the 30 of the X5L
so it will be a lot easier to buy a X5L and then to change the HDD (in 6 month if necessary...) than buying an X to change his battery...
of course, it's only OK for 40 GB, if you want more, you will have to wait longer ;)
