Hello This newbie would much appreciate advice.
Which is the better battery?
++70 sent much cheaper on Amazone so this looks like a rip off right? Presumably it should be returned?
Any recommendations on where then to buy? Am in France.
Thanks everyone and happy indeed to have found this forum

Welcome to the forum.
55- and 70-series both work in your T410.
On Amazon USA they are roughly the same price: ~$75
Lenovo put an authentication chip into 70-series batteries and ThinkPads made after 2012 will expect such a battery.
Without the chip the battery may not be recognized as genuine and may not get charged.

But I don't get your question, which one is cheaper or do you think you got a fake?

Hello and v. many thanks your reply.
I wasn't sure if I could use the ++70 on my T410. Does it have longer life?
Re pricing there is around 25% difference and the ++55 figures in their order confirmation. Cheers
