OK clarification ... what I mean is that you've got a lot greater chance of finding a brand new pack for any Toshiba laptop of that era than you would finding a brand new pack for specifically the Libretto, and at a much cheaper price (especially if you look for packs for laptops that didn't develop a 'cult following' such as the libretto, and as a result are unlikely to still be in use so suppliers may have small stockpiles of them that they're trying to get rid of). I got a brand new (still fully sealed) pack for a Portege 300 for about $7USD a few months ago from one of the local suppliers who was clearing out their stock. The pack looks identical to that of the L100/110 and extended L50/70 right down to the circuit board (but the case ends and connector surround are shaped slightly differently so it won't actually fit) ... they had some other batteries there for other laptops as well (again brand new, fully sealed), I'm starting to wonder if I should have gotten a few more ... I do agree with you though, if the pack was opened and/or had a dubious history then ya I wouldn't trust it. - Raymond P.S. Speaking of batteries, I'm still looking for a dead/dying L100/110 pack to replace the cells in if anyone has one that they're thinking of selling ;-) --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
