Try Newark electronics (catalog electronics sales)  www.newark.com
1998 catalog has batteries (Tadirian  lithium 3.6 V high capacity) on
page 9, stock # 50F1559 for tabbed version.
They also have the potting material, stock # 00Z716 on page 161. 
Problem is you have to buy a lb. & it's pretty $$.  I used a different 2
part potting compound that I already had, it worked fine.  Whatever you
use, be sure it's a 2 part RTV type potting compound for electronics.  1
part RTVs will never cure and if it's not for electronics it may be
conductive and short the battery.  Also, if you can get access to one,
an evacuation chamber is useful here.  Mix up the goop, put it in the
chamber under vacuum for a few minutes to remove any air from the goop. 
Then pot the battery compartment.  (Please don't put the computer in the
chamber!!!)

Hope this helps
