does anyone know where you can find IBM batteries (t-series li-ion for t20) cheaper than the IBM site at 189.00?

also how do people like the OEM 3rd party batteries out there? are they just as reliable? I know there's that issue with the latest BIOS disabling non-IBM batteries. Any other reason I wouldnt want to use one?

Thanks!

Got a 6 cell that came in my T42 and it's pretty loose, so I'm wondering about the 3rd party ones too... any to watch out for with regard to fit? How is the reliability?

Dunno about the t20 series, but you can check newegg.com - they have brand-name t-series batteries for much cheaper than ibm.com
