Looks like a 6 cell battery. The bonus mAh would be nice. Does anyone have tried it or a replacement battery? Do they usually have the capacity as advertised?

I have been using this 5200mAH 6 cell for a few months.

In fact I am using it right now. It is even a little better since it is 11.1V instead of 10.8. Seems to work great. I have pretty much stopped using the 9-cell.

You said you pretty much stopped using the 9 cell ... is there any particular reason why? Is there an advantage to 6 cell batteries vs. 9 cell?

I bought a 9 cell 6600mah which works great in the T41 here.

My aching back!

I've just been trying to get by briefcase weight down. I seldom need more than 3 hours battery these days anyway. I actually got an X61s for traveling to even get lighter on my feet.

I also use the 6600mAH 9 cell sometimes and my son uses one every day at school. Works great in exchange for an extra 1/2 pound and an extra inch.
