    I have had good luck with included batterys in the used cf-18's that I have bought
    The last 4 cf-18's had battery life of 2 1/2 to three hours on three of them
    Its nice though to have new batterys as they eill last over 4 hrs or so
    And new toughbook batterys are rare for the older models

    I was browsing through ebay and caught this listing.

    http://cgi.ebay.ca/Pansonic-Toughbo...ItemQQptZLaptop_Batteries?hash=item4a9c28b68a

    A bunch of orange tab batteries going for $25.75USD + shipping (to canada was $10) Interestingly enough if you check out the auctions only there's one going for over $32 now plus shipping, I guess sometimes buy it now is better then bidding :p

    Also seller had some yellow tab'ed batteries the 4 cell if i recall.

    Thought I'd give the heads up to anyone still looking for some spare batteries.
