The phone number for their parts shop is 800-388-7080, and option 2
should get you where you need to go. The part number (which I have
verified) has changed, it is now 44L0305. This should come up as a
'battery pack', and the price quoted to me over the phone by the IBM
parts folks was $50.75.

Could anyone who has successfully ordered these SSA batteries from IBM
please let me know what feature code you used.
The IBM rep I spoke with claimed that they don't even sell the
batteries...?
TIA,
