I for one would not spent that much for one battery. I have 8 batteries that I keep in several different places because I travel a lot. I would rather have a few extra batteries with me while traveling because it is just easier to swap out a battery than to constantly wander when and where I can charge it if I start to get low.

I also have one of those cradles that let you pop a battery in it also so that I can recharge the individual batteries later when I get a chance.

Batteries on eBay are only $7. My original Touch pro batteries are exactly 1 year old now and they are kicking strong still. I am now about to purchase some Touch Pro 2 batteries and I will be buying the cheap-o eBay ones again.
