IBM doesn't put the battery for the 770 series in any special containers
(like the little heatshrink package the 600's battery is in). It literally
is just a standard battery you can buy from just about anyone that sells
lithium batteries.  I *think* it's a CR2025, but I don't have my 770Z in
front of me to check right now.  I had to replace that battery in my old
770Z a couple of months ago.
