Dammit, not a bad idea, and I turned down a battery when I bought my new C5 because it had been leaking. :(

Hi ljalberga.

have a look at this add_
http://www.ebay.co.uk/it...&hash=item19fb3986db
He's got a duff original battery, mail him, he may sell or give battery the battery away as it looks like he wasn't offering it with the C5.

One was sold on ebay UK on the 1st Feb for Sinclair C5 for £5.99. Was that you who grabbed it?
