Hi Gabe,

I just went to BatteriesPlus ( http://www.batteriesplus.com/ ) in Orem  
for the first time the other day.  I needed some small watch  
batteries.  They had tons of batteries and the ones I needed were  
cheaper than other places I had looked.  I usually by my generic  
batteries from RadioShack or Costco.  Granted, they were not video  
camera batteries.  I have never really looked for video camera  
batteries.  Might be something worth going back to the manufacturer for.

Cheers,
Jonathan
