My PRAM battery is dead. All I can find are used ones. Why would I want to put a used battery into my Mac (with no guarantee of how long it will last?). Where can I find a NEW PRAM battery for sale? Is it possible to recharge a PRAM battery and/or is it possible that there is an ordinary coin battery inside that little sheath, and if so is it possible to get it open so as to pop in a new battery? Would it have to be soldered to the wires? (If so, no problem)

Why does it seem like Apple is intentionally trying to make my life difficult? Whatever happened to just using plain old CR 2032 batteries for the PRAM, that can easily be replaced? Are they worried that they aren't making enough money, so they feel they have to gouge us every step of the way?
