| My daughter-in-law has a Toshiba laptop which needs a
| new battery and Toshiba don't stock them any more.
I bought a battery for my daughter's Dell through a local store. I
found it through googling. The store and the battery seemed fine and
not too expensive. I cannot say how they would compare with other
places.
The battery is working over a year later (as one would hope).
The store is in a mall in Scarborough. It seems like a normal
non-chain computer store. They did sell refurb computers too.

"Original" means that it is a Toshiba brand battery.
"generic" means the battery is not Toshiba-branded.
I chose a "generic" battery even though I thought it slightly more
risky.
They don't have the batteries in stock: you order them, with some
money up front. I could have bypassed the middleman and ordered over
the web but I felt more comfortable with a physical storefront.
Also: consider phoning these people:

They seem to have some inside track with Toshiba.
(I've not dealt with them.)
