In my university years I worked at Best Buy part time and the HP rep who visited always openly acknowledged (and joked about) batteries as being overpriced as it's easier for people to justify a new laptop when the battery is approaching 1/4 of the price of a new one. Granted, this laptop we're speaking of is worth a lot more than $200 x4 but I think the point is clear.
