T30 - T2X Battery

#1 Post by Kanilas » Mon Dec 15, 2008 2:46 pm

A couple months ago I'd bought a brand new battery for my T30, which has since suffered the Blink of Death, after only having the battery go through about 3 charge/depletion cycles. I'm looking to sell the battery, and someone is wondering if it'll fit in a T2X system. I know the T30 has that small corner "missing" which allows it to fit in the T30 battery bay. Will this battery work in a T2X system as well?

Yes it will, I do it all the time.
But T2x batteries won't fit in a T30 (unless you saw out the 'offending' corner, which is just empty space in a T2x battery anyway :twisted: )

are the power supplies also minterchangeable? Plan on resurrecting a couple of T30, have a few T23 power supplies would be nice if they were the same.

The power supplies are sort of interchangable
By that I mean most are the same voltage

WARNING: you must insure they are

But are different Wattage, which mean they may charge slower on newer Tpads

Here is a good example of wattage as I am using it here
Fill a swimming pool with a garden hose @ 50psi
Fill a swimming pool with a Fire hose @ 50psi
Which one do you want to use?

All T23s and T30s require a 4.5A, 72W, 16V AC adapter.
Do NOT use the 3.6A, 56W, 16V adapter. These run the risk of overheating, and are usually even older than the laptop itself.
