IBM/ThinkPad T60/T60p/T61/T61p/T500 6-cell FRU 92P1141 (made by Sony) battery information:
Type: Li-ion
Capacity: 5200 mAh
Volt: 10.8 V
Size: 204.90 x 58.60 x 20.50 mm
Color: Black
FRU: 92P1141

Original ThinkPad battery for the 15.4" models. It came with a ThinkPad T61 I bought a while back but was only used during 2 weeks. I got a 9-cell battery after and never used this one since.
Only 10 cycles of usage. Still holds the full design capacity (56.16 Wh) (checked with Lenovo PowerManager).
Please note that this is an original/genuine battery!

Asking 48€/$72 shipped including paypal fees. Shipped from Portugal so it's a great deal for any European user.

I checked the battery a while back using the Battery Diagnostic Tool program and got a message that the battery did not qualify for a replacement. But thanks for the information.

The Battery Diagnostic Tool can only qualify batteries for replacement after they have failed. The battery may be fine but it may fail at some point. Then it may or may not qulaify for replacement. Unfortunately, while only a small proportion of these batteries may fail, you never know until it happens. Pity, because it looks like a good battery :(
