Need new 8-cell Battery for X61 7675(CTO)

Any suggestions on where to get best deal?

I just bought one from this seller on eBay. Brand new, old stock, but holds a good charge. No different than the brand-new batteries I've bought from Lenovo. A good deal as far as I'm concerned. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0443195235

Batteries are a tricky purchase... but this seems legit. Thanks for the tip.

The seller was helpful in my communication with him, and the batteries I got were good, apparently new old stock. I bought an eight and a four-cell. Both came with no cycles on them and took a full charge. I suppose that if they've been sitting on the shelf for a while, they might not hold up as well over the long term as a brand-new one from Lenovo, but who knows -- time will tell. Even if they don't, it's hard to go wrong at this price.
