Just as an example you can get Li-ion tamayas from here :
http://www.onlybatterypacks.com/items.asp?db=3D23
for $46 , if you can find a good postage price then that plus the
vat/duty ( you might not get charged if you send usps (ups always do ))
would probaly save you some cash. Or pay cpc =A353 as aposed to 46.00USD
