Replacing battery

I absolutely love my Zune 120, I've had it for probably almost 4 years now. But I've noticed a significant decrease in battery life. I may only use it for a few hours a day, but that would be enough so that I would have to charge it. My brightness is down, and I have wireless always turned off. Should I consider having the battery replaced?

Yes, you should. If you find a DIY kit, or a service can you provide a link? I fear a similar service will be required for mine soon.

I've found a battery and soldering pen, both of which you'll need:

I haven't purchased either yet, so I'm not sure how well either will work, but I am not positive my Zune is on its last legs. I suggest looking around yourself for batteries (be sure to specify which model Zune you have) and a soldering iron if you're using a 8/16/80/120 model. I believe the old 30 ones you could easier replace without use of a soldering gun.
