Laptops for Less has TP770 batteries for $114

Caveats:

    * I have never actually ordered anything from them, but I keep them
      bookmarked for their excellent selection & pricing on batteries &
      other peripherals.
    * I do not know whether the part I linked above is "new" or refurb.
      When I last purchased a 770 battery direct from IBM, they told me
      that they were completely out of stock on new batteries and were
      down to the refurbs.
