You can also get replacement IIgs batteries from:

http://www.mcpb.com    -    MC Price Breakers in Chula Vista, CA

They are Apple II (&Mac & PC) knowledgeable, and my dealings with them
have been good.

3V Lithium Varta - Slide On Replacement Part BAT-3V0SB-2GS   $8.95

I think minimum shipping was $4.00 but may be slightly more now.
