Battery clamshell iBook

Probably a silly question, but is it possible to still buy a replacement battery for the clamshell iBook? Thanks.

Newegg is selling a new iBook replacement battery M7426 for $60 from Powerwarehouse https://www.newegg.com/p/16J-002H-06F55?item=9SIA3771177152

There are no reviews of this battery or any items from Powerwarehouse in Las Vegas http://www.powerwarehouse.com/

Has anyone bought anything from this supplier?

Thank you for the link. I haven't used this site. Being in Japan I did find this site

https://www.rowa.co.jp/cabinet/product_list.cgi?F=&cat_select=%A5%A2%A5%C3%A5%D7%A5%EB&topdis=&key=&grp=&ganre=%A5%CE%A1%BC%A5%C8%A5%D1%A5%BD%A5%B3%A5%F3%A5%D0%A5%C3%A5%C6%A5%EA%A1%BC

where it seems batteries are made in China (maybe to order? ) but then how safe are they (based on replica Apple iPhone chargers blowing up in the past)?
