Ultra Slim Bay Handling Question: T43

[anthony]

I purchased an USBay battery from a bulk supplier so it came with absolutely no documentation. But on the wrapper, there is a a bright yellow label warning to "Observe Precautions for Handling Electrostatic Sensitive Devices." Are there special handling techniques with this battery? I thought I could just toss the thing in my bag. I know hard drives have electrostatic concerns, but did not know it was a concern with batteries.

From the question, you can tell this is my first ThinkPad. So please be gentle.... TIA.

I am looking for this battery too. how much did you pay? And what mAh is it? Could you give me the wed site that you purchased from?

$74 from Server Supply, no tax, free shipping. Rec'd 2 days after placing order. Paid by PayPal.

Go in thru the link on this page by clicking on the $74 price. If you go directly to their site and put in the part number you get a higher price.

I'm afraid I'm not sophisticated enouigh to know the mAh, build date, etc. But it is Part # 08K8190 if that helps.

I saw a post saying someone had found one for $50, but couldn't find the site. There are some on eBay for $57 but after the shipping the bottom line price wasn't enough lower for me to chance the risk of eBay.

Enjoy!
