The local Batteries Plus Store has five batteries for me to choose from.

I haven't seen a price on the Tripp-Lite pages for a battery, but their
page has a Link to a Store I got their IDE/SATA to USB adapter from.

iirc the local store here has the lowest price and I don't have to wait for
a package to come to me.
The batteries they offer have 6A/Hr and 7A/Hr ratings.

Thanks for the Heads Up.
