These two places that have these batteries, based on a quick Google search on November 20, 2003.
This is not an endorsement of any sort, I know nothing about them, but their prices
seem decent.<p>

This place is a chain, but might have a good price:<br>
<a href="http://www.batteriesplus.com">Batteries Plus</a>
<p>

They have stupid names, but that's because all the good names 
were taken before the 1980's.

I expect a Google search of some combination of 
<p>
<pre>
       yuasa, yt12a-bs, ytx9-bs, price, battery
</pre>
<p>
would reveal who has the best prices when you're reading this.

in fact, try it now:
