Where to buy new 9-cell IBM battery for a T43P?

[alins]

The title says it all. I can find many places which sell generic/OEM but don't seem to find a reputable place that sells a brand new genuine IBM 9-cell battery for my T43P (FRU 92P1077 or other - preferably a Panasonic battery).

Lenovo sells this:

But who makes it? Sanyo? Or Panasonic?

Also can I use a 9-cell battery made for the T43 or T40 in my T43P? Example:

Thanks very much!

Not sure I can recommend a good source of these, but I usually wait for battery deals at the Lenovo outlet, or purchase them directly from a member here in the Marketplace forum. As far as the compatibility question, all T4X and R5X batteries are interchangeable.

Welcome to the forum, Anthony. I have sent you a PM as my wife's T43p battery is on the way out.
