Hi I have to say that I too ordered my PTR1 from the RNIB late last year and I also requested a spare battery, wich I duly received along with my PTR1.
It cost me about £30, I can't remember exactly. The batteries are very easy to put into the unit and so I think it is worth having the extra given the limitations of current battery technology. I have heard that Toshiba hope to bring out their fuel powered battery solution next year, which will give a far superior battery life and we won't need to buy extra batteries as this new type will be rechargeable by filling it like a refillable lighter. I can't wait! With Respects ...
