At least that's what it was last week when I went
into my local RS to
check on a 3v lithium battery for my NeXT cube.
You mean they didn't stock it?
I had a good laugh the other day when I went in to find a standard PC
CMOS battery (the little blocks used in practically every PC thru
486's)... and it was a special order part... but two out of the 3 Mac
battery styles (large AAish and small 1/2 AA) were standard stock and had
pleanty on the racks.
I suppose at least it is nice that ONE store doesn't think the Mac is an
inferior product, not worthy of carrying parts for it (they also have a
nice supply of ADB cables... only they call them S-Video :-) )

Odd, but no Radio Shack doesn't even list them in the catalog.
OTOH I still have several cases of new old stock I am selling off. So if
you need an 840 or 844b 4.5v alkaline cmos battery, email me while I still
have them. 1/$5, 3/$10, 10/$20, and case of 60 for $50, all plus shipping.
