You can replace the battery for US$29 (+ $5 for a torx wrench if you don't have
one.) Instructions are at the site.

Probably the closest to what you are replacing is the Tungsten E (being
discontinued) or the Tungsten E2. The only advantage for what you do will
probably be the *high resolution* color screen. Battery life before recharge may
not be as good though. If money is no object look at the more expensive models
as they will do all that the Es will do and more.

Most of your current m515 apps should work on a new Palm. You will have to get
all new apps for a PPC if you choose one since they are a completely different
system.
