Palm M500 Replacement Battery

[Reg Whitely]

Hi WAMUGgers

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement battery for my M500? 
Local Geraldton IT shop phoned Palm and they don't sell them but 
invited me to send Palm to them for $160 replacement or $130 repair. I 
paid that much for it second hand. A websearch reveals one Aust place 
selling batteries for $244.95  and one in US for $29.95 US. That's a 
BIG difference. Any ideas?

Regards
