Last week I received a catalog from Bell Atlantic which included replacement
batteries for the AT and the two Compaq '286 machines:

   p/n IB5253     PC/AT
   p/n CQ5280     Compaq Deskpro 286
   p/n CQ5114     Compaq Portable 286

All three are priced at $27.95

The telephone number is 1-800-523-0552.  They accept Visa, MasterCard,
and American Express.
