The nano's trickier than most models because it's basically got a coin battery soldered to the motherboard.
I've heard good things about http://www.ipodjuice.com/ . They seem professional and offer batteries that will last longer than the stock ones did new.
@sgtpepper:
Oh yeah, those guys! They used to advertise in the back of MacAddict all the time! Good times.
Hey you wouldn't happen to know where I could find a PRAM battery for an SE/30, would you? Mine died about 8 years ago and it got to the point where the machine wouldn't boot with it in place anymore. (Still need to replace the CRT capacitors one of these days...)

I would HIGHLY recommend OWC as a place to buy a replacement battery.

I've replaced batteries in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gen iPods, as well as iPod Minis. I have not replaced a Nano's battery though... I have replaced a couple Nano screens though, and the Nano's are definitely a female of the dog species to open, probably the because of the metal clips (as opposed to plastic ones).
I would HIGHLY recommend OWC as a place to buy a replacement battery. They have fair prices compared to other reputable names, and I've used them to buy Mac related things for years. They are a fantastic company.
If you need any help, feel free to shoot me a PM or post here, I've taken apart every iPod model in existence, with the exception of the 3rd Gen Nano, so I've been around the block a few times
