I buy replacement batteries at a local electronics parts place, and I
pay very reasonable prices for all kinds of batteries. They supply a lot
of batteries to folks and refresh their stock frequently, so I know I am
getting new stock and not something using up its shelf life on the
shelf. Look around on the internet, there may be a supplier near you.
I would not care to order batteries on the net and pay shipping. Very heavy.
