stupid joke...Buy a new one.
Vook --Maybe in 1 year when they actually start dying out . . ..
I'm not worried. But I would define die differently as holding significantly less capacity and/or dying quickly even on a "full" charge. I assume for the price it is a high-quality battery, but I think many users have had the experience of a Dell or some such crap PC that will no longer hold a charge after a year or two.Vook --
That is highly unlikely. Battery in my 2 1/2 year old laptop still running fine. Same with by iPad V1 and my iPhone 3GS. The newer batteries take a long time to actually die -- with die being defined as "no longer accept a charge." You will have long grown tired of it and moved on to something else before the battery dies.
Worry about something else.

I got my iPadv1 in May 2010 and used it everyday, charge after charge and it's still going strong. I got my RT in November 2012. IMO the battery will far outlast your interest in the tablet.
This is the other reason. Batteries have improved significantly and the life of the battery is expected to be longer than that of the device. Of course we all know somebody that is still using a Windows 95 machine or something like that, heck I even have an iPhone from the original launch day and the battery is fine the OS on the other hand was abandoned long ago, but they are not intended to go more than a couple of years. That is even more the case today.Vook --
