For you N800 guys, Walmart wants too much for a 2nd battery:

I bought mine cheap from this guy. They are real OEM batteries, but are
good pullouts for a lot less money. The 3 I got had been in a phone as
you can see the marks on the contacts, but the batteries are in fine
condition and one cycle in my charger below brought them back up great.
They even came fully charged, probably from the seller's battery tester.

USPS shipping was about $4 bringing it here for under $20, not $45 at
Wally World.

I play a lot of movies and stream TV from WorldTV99's playlist in
KMplayer/mplayer at high bit rates. This eats the N800 at full display
brightness and loud audio in about 4-5 hours. Just kick out the dead
horse and pop in the new one and we're back online for the rest of the
day...charging the dead horse back up in the drop-in charger in the car
upon arrival.

I also bought 5 of these at $2/each from the UK:

They charge the battery, then when the battery's onboard IC says full,
shut down completely dousing the light to tell you it's charged. Even
on the car cord, they charge the battery back up in about 1.5 hours from
dead.

The spare battery charges from any of my N800 charging cords, AC or DC,
in the car or on my desk while I'm off with the other one. Using these,
and they ARE so cheap, you never have to actually charge the tablet at
all on its tether.
