For a start the device is intended to be used with the power cord while in the car, a new fully charged battery should last for around two hours without the power lead inserted.
TomTom don't offer a battery replacement service, you can do it yourself and there are instructions on this site for carrying this out - Mike

If you think you need a new battery and don't want to try it yourself, contact http://satnavrepairservice.com/, excellent service and very reasonable.
