T42 extra battery accessory part ordering

[chrisnyc]

I'm looking to order an extra regular battery for my T42, but I can't figure out which battery to order.

There's a battery listed as "lithium ion" for T40/R50 series with list price $129 ; and there's a "6 cell lithium ion" for T40 / R50 series with list price $159. Neither of these matches the part number for the battery that is listed as included with my T42; which is "mfg 92P1064 ; FRU 08K8193. Both of the above batteries have different numbers.

By the way, both of the above choices come up when I view all of the accessories listed for my specific notebook model.

It's way too confusing for me ! (I don't want a "high capacity" 9 cell battery, also don't want a ultrabay slim battery.)

I've also got a post a ways down about changes in IBM/Lenovo's web pages, so that I cannot locate my account and orders.

Thanks for any help.

I would just go with the cheapest one, unless the Ah (Amp/Hour) rating is different, then I would choose the one with the highest Ah rating.

You will see on the above page that there are a number of batteries that will work. IBM used various suppliers. Kind of like choosing an Eveready, Ray-O-Vac, or Duracell.
