My wife has a older iBook in need of a new / like new battery, I have looked all over the internet for one with little luck. Even the ones I did run across are really expensive... Does anyone know of a site or business that is selling these types of batteries?

I am not sure the Mac market in Germany. I did do a search on eBay and Google. They has some original Apple-made and third-party battery for the clamshell iBook. However, I don't feel like buying battery from eBay or third-party made.
So I first went to the local AppleStore and asked the MacGenius. The guy checked the price for the new battery.. about US$169 + S&H. It was pricey indeed. I went back home, and called AppleCare line. The person on the phone said US$160. I ended up purchased it. I received the battery on the next day.
Since you can use the iBook without the battery.. I am not sure your wife uses it as a "desktop" or a true notebook. However, you can save some money by plugging in the iBook to the AC.
Looks like prices are in the $150 ballpark
