Default Replacement Laptop Batteries- Where to get some???

Just wondering if anyone knows the best place to get a deal on laptop batteries?

I have an ACER 529atx and need to get a BPT-34A1 battery for it, Best price for a new one I've got so far is $199 delivered!

Anyone???

There are batteries specialists out at Notting Hill in victoria (near Monash Clayton) - but I can't recall their name. The technique is called "repacking" where the individual batteries cells are replaced.
