Depending on which model iPhone you have, it is most likely that the screen would have to be removed to get to the battery. Since the screen is already cracked, it is very likely that by removing the screen it would damage it even more and make it unusable.
So depending on the age of your phone, you might want to consider an upgrade, or buying a refurbished phone from your carrier if they have any. That's what I'd do...
