The part in the canadianbatteries.com link is not the correct part for this keyboard.

The correct PN is 533-000141, this has longer leads on the battery and the battery capacity is larger than the one linked. Aliexpress is the only place I have been able to locate a new one.

Kevin, exactly right. I have 2 of these, the original and this one. Whoever the brain trust was that came up with this cockamamy idea was a numbskull. The rechargeable batteries dont last forever, why make a product. you must basically throw away because of the imbecile design? Sheesh.
