Good idea on the electronics repair shop, thanks. I've contacted a local battery shop that does custom orders, so maybe they'll be able to source the correct cells at a reasonable price. They might be able to do the install too, as they do some electronics work on site.
As for the battery life, it does appear to be around 12 hours. That being said, I haven't had the iLiad long enough yet to stress it much. I can anticipate things getting a little dicey, especially at long conference sessions where I'm taking a lot of notes. Still, I should probably see how things go before I start thinking about messing with the battery!
