Steve,

I've had good luck with rebuilt batteries for laptops from: Battery Boys
Specialty Battery Company, 17-510 Circle Drive, East, Saskatoon, SK, Canada,
S7K 7C7

Email: Circle at batteryboys.com

(306) 668 4653
(800) 387 6937

I don't know whether they rebuild batteries for iBooks but it might be worth
an inquiry.

Good luck,

Jack C.
