Unfortunately, I believe they're out of stock, even of the refurbished model. But it may be worth tracking one down; it was unsuccessful in bringing an older battery of mine back to life, but it seems to have done well by two problematic batteries from another list member. By the way, I'll gladly try charging clamshell batteries in my VST charger for anyone here who is willing to pay the return postage. I can't guarantee it will work, especially if your battery is at the end of its' useful life, but I'm willing to give it a try. BRIAN/bpearce at cloud9.net
