WTB: T60 Battery

[mrbuddha09]

Hi there.

My poor laptop battery sadly and unexpectedly crapped out and no longer carries a charge.

Please shoot me a PM and let me know if you have a replacement, the remaining cycles, etc.

And if you have a suggestion of where to find a cheap replacement, that would also be appreciated.

Thanks!

You might consider the Dr. Battery green series .... these use Boston Power Sonata cells, which are supposed to be better. There are a few reports about them here in the forums, and the price is pretty good at a couple of sites (battdepot.com and laptopcharge) where, unfortunately, they're backordered for 14" T60s. They're around $70 shipped ...

They're not really cheap, but they're substantially less than a lenovo battery and presumably they're better ... (your mileage may vary)

Just a thought ...

If you get a non lenovo battery you'll be getting a pesky warning message you're using a non genuine lenovo battery.

Every now and then they have these so-called refurbished batteries available. If I were you, I would grab one as quickly as possible:

Hope that helps.

Thanks Jason. I checked out those two websites and they are definitely out of my price range for a battery. Thanks for the recommendation however!

Some additional information...

While Power Manager shows the big red battery sign, implying replacement is necessary, the advanced option shows the battery at 100% charged, and:

37.74 Full charge capacity
56.16 Design capacity
cycle count 50

When I disconnect the AC power adapter, the laptop shuts off. Any solution so that I can "jumpstart" into working order? Seems to me that 37.74 out of 56.16 remaining should equal a decent performing battery. Thanks in advance for any advice!

And if this fails, any other T60 batteries offers?

Did you already try "perform reset" under Battery Maintenance in Power Manager?
