If you don't mind doing some surgery, it is often cheaper to find a source of individual cells, and hook those together. Or to find a battery pack for some other computer, but one whose cells are of the same type. So, unless you're in a hurry, or want a professional-looking result, this DIY method might be worth considering.

The problem is in apples Quest to make a small and light portable, they

used smaller than normal batteries in the battery pack. Standard size AA batteries will not let the case close . AAA are 900mah.. There are 2000mah AAA listed on the net but they turn out to be 900mah.

Paying $129.00 plus shipping from the above place is not a attractive option.

NiMH AA batteries with tabs is what you need. Batteries the same size as the originals are available on ebay. Search NiMH AA tabs. You can buy a goodly number, shipped and all, for well under $40.
