I wonder if what Ron meant is: there are no more good USED sticks available.

But you may know he was also offering the option of a "Better Battery" using brand new NIMH cells properly welded together into 20 new subpacks with slightly higher capacity than the OEM sticks. This was obviously more expensive than the refurbished (used sticks) option, but not as much $$ as a new OEM replacement.
