Consider yourself lucky...here in the US, extra batteries are $129.  In a
previous life, I had (actually, it's still in the closet) a Sony VAIO laptop.
It went through 3 batteries in an amazingly short period - each lasted maybe
6 months.  But, the bloody things were $250 EACH!  I've replaced the original
Ti battery, and the replacement has been going strong for a year and half so
far...

BTW, my Gigabit Ti 667 has been painless.  No chipping paint, no broken
hinges, no dead pixels, no kernel panics, no nothing - it's been absolutely
great!
