Battery Life Woes

When I got the iAUDIO X5 I was super psyched and absolutely loved it. The best part about it was how great the sound quality was. My only complaint was the battery life. I found that the battery life was very poor. In fact, the reason I don't still use my X5 is because the battery died on me and Cowon wanted me to pay two hundred dollars to install a new battery. Anyways, I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced similar problems with the X5.

I had the exact same problem, but found a really cheap solution. As it turns out, the X5 uses the exact same battery as the Sony Ericsson K700. You can buy it here for $6 including shipping: www.dealextreme.com­/details.dx­/sku.3840

Here is a video tutorial on how to replace the battery - it is really easy, I didn't even solder the wires but just used electrical tape. www.dealextreme.com­/details.dx­/sku.3840
