Where to find a spare battery?

I bit the bullet yesterday and ordered my 830 from AT&T on a 12-month Next contract (figured that'd hold me over until what better be a monster Holiday 2015 from Microsoft!) It doesn't have everything I want, but one of the features that excited me was the user-replaceable battery. I'm always on the road, so being able to pop in a spare battery is an attractive feature.

I haven't seen AT&T or Microsoft advertise spare batteries for sale, and I can't even find them on eBay. Anyone have any idea on where I could buy an extra battery? Also, any current 830 owners out there who could tell me the model number of the battery it takes?

After contacting Lumia@help on Twitter, Microsoft Mobile and Nokia USA, ALL say it's not available in USA because it's too new.
30 minutes chatting with ATT they still insist that the BL-5J will work ...
"why would we be selling it if it didn't? "
'cause dumb *rses that's why.

The BL-5J fits my old Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and it's 1430mAh The only battery that fits in and works for the 830 is the BV-L4A

Here are many ( the few & most of ) of the places you can buy the BV-L4A on the planet, none in USA
