G4 power mac angle poise model

This is a long shot but there's a lot of expertise here so you never know . . .
I have a G4 angle-poise that has finally died. However, it seems that it is most likely that the problem is with the back-up battery, I learned on a weblog, which I didn't even know existed. Several people reported, like me, that they found that they needed to keep their machine on standby permanently, otherwise is took days to reboot. It does look as though the standby battery had died (no surprise after seven plus years). The machine was working perfectly in all other respects and I was leaving it permanently on standby, but we had a three hour power cut and it wouldn't start up after that. Anybody come across this and know where I could get a new battery?

Thanks in advance.
