One last suggestion: there are some sellers on eBay that are offering used IMA battery sticks, in fact one of the sellers is Bumblebee themselves, shedding pulled battery "stick" assemblies from reconditioned IMA packs. Note that when you buy one of these you may well be getting a pig in a poke, but you may be getting a big box full o' lightning, too. Considering Bumblebee is selling a box of 20 for $100, that's a full IMA's worth of sticks for only 5% of the purchase price of one of their fully reconditioned units. You could buy several, mix and match to assemble the best sticks into a nearly-new pack, and sell the rest on or simply recycle them.
