FYI!

I have no relation to this listing, I am about to purchase one; based on his feedback (all private, but if you read...people got the batteries)!

$65 PLUS minimal S/H!

If anyone buys, post the results here...


On a side note, I have watched 4 of his auctions (he always starts with 10/auction); he seems to post once a week (posts on fridays, end on sunday) and then ship during that week.

The auction number is 6841704173 an ends in 2 hours!

good luck....



EDIT!!!!

I forgot to mention the important part, they are listed as the "new" 7200 mah batteries

I've bought a 6-cell (OEM and new) from him about 5 months ago. Delivered quickly.

Was it genuine OEM?

I only ask because this price is literally half what i can get with the IBM/Lenovo EPP discount... I don't see how its possible to get a geniune IBM battery that cheap...

Yes, it is genuine OEM. I've also gotten some genuine OEM batteries from other sellers for about the same price. You just have to be careful to sort through the listings.

One word!

AWESOME!


Got it today, 0 count; manufactured 04/2005.

Thinking of picking up one more....

They are back!

I think I will get one more!!!

HOT. I've been looking for a good deal on one of these.

Thanks a TON man!

Thanks for this link. I got the item within 3 days. I recommend this guy to anyone who is looking to buy a 9 cell battery. 0 count cycles and 7 hours battery life almost guaranteed

I bought a 9 cell from him and was so pleased that I bought a 6 cell (he has them for $55 shipped). both are the newer T43 batteries with higher capacity and my T42p will now play DVD's on my entire flight to Korea next month, including layovers.

grabbed one, thanks!

wow.. gd deal..

hopefully they do ship to UK..

Yes, I bought one as well - excellent price, 0 count, etc. Just wish he had more in stock!

Why don't you make a stop in Bucharest, in your flight to Korea? Of course, you'll get an additional battery for me, I'm gonna get you a lot of beer

Anyway, is there any chance someone to come in Romania soon? That guy ships only to U.S.

i asked him abt shipping to UK. it costs US$30 for shipping to the UK..

that makes it US$95 in total for it.. do u all think its still worth it?

I'd say its worth it as its still half of the Lenovo price in the US, and these are the higher capacity T43 batteries.

No go on Romania, I fly across the Pacific.

i htink its a gd deal too.. i'll check how much i can get them in Singapore.. but its just less than US$100... its a very gd deal..

i might wanna buy a few to see if the shipping might be cheaper..

got same battery Dec. '05 and happy to report it works fine

mine came with manual and box then for the same pri

just follow forum's tips on battery reconditioning, using power scheme etc you won't go wrong

Anybody know who this seller is? Any of these still around?
