There's an ad in PC Magazine, July 88, page 390, for a company called:
	IBC (International Battery Corp.)
	16735 Saticoy St., Suite 111
	Van Nuys, CA 91406
Who claim to be the largest supplier of computer batteries for IBM AT's,
PS/2's, and "all other computers."  They'll sell you a replacement battery
for $27.50 (single unit price) plus $3.00 s/h.  Or overnight shipping for
$14.00 more.  They have toll-free order numbers:
	800 654-3790 (US)
	800 225-9359 (CA)

I have never dealt with these people, but just saw the ad.
