Did you really expect to go there and have them have a clue what you were talking about. After all, their slogan is "You've got questions, we've got blank stares". :-) If you aren't interested in a cell phone, they haven't got a clue about anything else in their store... and even the cell phones they haven't got a clue, they just know how to BS people who know less than they do. That is why I pointed out the exact part number... all you have to ask is "where are the batteries", then look where the drooling fool points, go over to the racks, and track down the part number. If in doubt, it is a 1/2 AA 3.6 volt Lithium battery. If you ask for a Mac battery, they will tell you they don't sell them. The irony is, they have long carried these batteries, yet they do NOT carry the more PC standard versions (the 3.6 volt or 4.5 volt square batteries), those are special order.
