I can give you pics of the internals of a 6 cell x230 battery if you want. I'd opened one to see if it could be taken apart non-destructively, but it isn't possible to do that.
That would be awesome!

Re: Best Battery for X230T ?

As Lenovo likely does not manufacture these batteries any more, any stock you find will be older, and even if unused, no way to know how well they work and for how long. Even now, there are a handful of US-based sellers selling genuine 67+ batteries in sealed Lenovo boxes, e.g.,: https://www.ebay.c...

Sourcing X230T battery PCB ICs

Would anyone happen to have any teardown pictures of an X230T battery, specifically a close-up shot with legible markings on any of the ICs? I'm looking into recelling my batteries for my x230t, and I'm wondering if any of the components on the PCB are particularly hard to come by, I can recycle and...

T61 9 cell battery DOA, any suggestions?

I bought a NOS genuine Lenovo 9 cell battery for my T61, and unfortunately, the battery won't charge in either of the T61s I have, I get the fast blinking orange battery indicator light. I was told that I should check the SMBus info but from what I gather, this is something you can't do with a piece...

side closure sleeve for T440p?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a laptop sleeve for a T440p? Specifically, a sleeve that opens along the narrower side and allows you to slip the laptop in and out if it were in a backpack without removing the sleeve (so "portrait" rather than "landscape") I have a T440p with a 9 cell battery,...

Re: Processor upgrade with T440p

That would be either i7-4900MQ or i7-4910MQ (or i7-4760HQ). See this: https://www.notebookcheck.net/4910MQ-vs-4910MQ-vs-4900MQ-vs-4760HQ_4997_4997_3665_5866.247596.0.html The MQ models are socketed, the HQ model needs to be soldered, so is not really a contender here. They'll work, but they are sti...
