Before I went on the Internet, I went to Batteries Plus. Yes, they
did list a battery for my Sharp PC-4502, yet they didn't call me
back and actually "forgot" to get back with me, even though they had
it written down in a notebook on their counter. Considering how
quickly I got serviced from the Raymond Sarrio company, I'd consider
them a serious contender with Batteries Plus in the category of classic
machines.
