It better last longer than that. Well anyway I just checked the voltage on the battery in one of my 920's it is marked 09-99 and reeds 3.66 volts. The feb 08 replacement battery only reeds 3.63 volts.

Greg, I had the same thought... main reason is due to corrosion on the terminals which would cause a major headache - as well as creating a new boat anchor...
LoneWolf, if memory serves on Li batteries, they hold a voltage until their demise and the voltage drop is sudden.
Here is discharge plot for Li-Ion battery 1580 mAh at 300 mA; you 'll have same V curve for 920 receiver but much longer as the current will be a few mA.
These are Lithium batteries not Lithium Ion. Unless you used some fancy external charging setup a Li-Ion battery wouldn't do any good for this issue.
Care to explain your last passage ?
Do you know what is the 920's discharging current ?
BTW, the plot I did on Maccor station for Sony Li-Ion cell.
If you have some knowledge, the post didn't tell me that.

I believe I just successfully changed the battery in my 922. 
bow
I'll probably know for sure tomorrow, but the new battery is in and I measured 3.58 volts on the old battery stumps ( I didn't desolder them).
I turned it on and the old ID numbers and such are still there.
I got a little worried when my mboard didn't look like the photos on the help page, but then I realized I was looking at a picture of a 920 and mines a 922.
The hardest part was finding the right Torx bits in my tools
PS
The old Varta battery measures 3.31 volts

Yes it did I replaced the battery in one of my units. It was such a nerve racking experence that I decided that I was in no hurry to replace the battery in the other units LOL. I check the voltage of the batteries in the other units and they all read at or above 3.6 volts.
