What is the Shuffle Battery Life Span?

Does anyone know the battery life span? Meaning how many times can I fully charge and then let it run till flat before charging it to full again? I would hate to buy the Shuffle only to have it to run for less than an hour in a year or three years time since I cannot replace the battery unit.

TIA

Every re-chargeable battery has a limited life span. Allot of the recharge-able mp3 players on the market only do 300 cycles vs the 400 you get on an iPod.
