I buy mine from a computer recycler for US$1.00 apiece.
I've never had a recycled PRAM battery which did not outlast the machine
it was installed into.
Wow I'd like to get batteries like that. The typical PRAM battery in this town
is good for around 4 years, however the only Macs that really can't start
without one are very few and in the PowerBook family and a few early Macs. I
have machines that have probably gone through 5 PRAM batteries. Some of my Macs
need a battery that I need to make my own for due to lack of availability:-)

Do you turn off power strips or just the cpu?
The battery will run down faster if cpu removed from wall power.
