Look in the digi-key.com catalog to find what you need, then shop on eBay.
I've replaced many in toys and UPSs. Shipping cost dominates. Make sure
you get current date codes, don't buy from anyone who doesn't report a date
code or says it doesn't matter.

so that rules out ebay on two counts- 1) crap source batteries 2) scam
shipping rates.

If you are going with the gel cell battery, they should be available at
your nearby burglar alarm company office, most electronics stores, and
even radio shak (expensive!)


Some are used in emergency lighting, as well. The local Home Depot
had a couple sizes in stock, the last time I checked.
