The official online stores seem are too expensive and i don't know who else is reliable. Then there are the 'compatible' chargers available everywhere, how good are these ?

I've been looking around for the battery (cf-VZSU41) on ebay. But there are only two listing currently - one from Batts and the other guy is cay3sales. Are these likely to be any good ? Please suggest some more reliable sources.

Ebay listings :

If you want an inexpensive power supply for a Y4, look at ebay auctions for old IBM Thinkpad 560 or 600 laptop power supplies. They work on a Y4 (and other Wx and Yx models), as well.

My experience buying batteries on eBay is uniformly bad. Unusually inexpensive batteries have been poor or DOA, almost without execption.
