Does anybody know of a source for these? The original Lenovo stock is getting pretty old to be useful.

Try looking for 70++ batteries (which replaced 55++). They are going to be a bit fresher, although I am not sure new ones are still being manufactured.

There will always be plenty of eBay sellers selling non-genuine (compatible) batteries; you can ask them which cells they use.

The 70++ that I bought in November 2016 from Amazon.de was manufactured March 2016.
