   The local Batteries Plus Store has five batteries for me to choose from.   
      
   I haven't seen a price on the Tripp-Lite pages for a battery, but their   
   page has a Link to a Store I got their IDE/SATA to USB adapter from.   
      
   iirc the local store here has the lowest price and I don't have to wait for   
   a package to come to me.   
   The batteries they offer have 6A/Hr and 7A/Hr ratings.   
      
   Thanks for the Heads Up.
