Reputable places like BatteriesPlus want $90 for a new replacement. But my searching eventually led me to aliexpress.com.
Expressing my opinion here. I buy all my batteries, from cell phone and UPS to diesel pickup truck from Northwest Battery Supply at SE 37th and Belmont. I could save money by buying on line, but will gladly pay more to support local businesses. We need the variety and expertise that local vendors offer. That's why I buy from the above, Parkrose Hardware, and others. Look at what Walmart did to local grocery stores. We lost a very high quality Thriftway here in Troutdale when Walmart opened in Wood Village. We all make choices based on our preferences, and mine is to support local vendors of all types whenever possible.
