Thinkpads Forum

The battery in my IBM/Lenovo T60 Thinkpad is still "good", but not getting much more than 1 1/4 hours of use before the warnings start to appear. I'm going to get a new replacement battery, but I keep reading about non-OEM batteries and problems from "nag screens" to overheating. On the other hand OEM batteries are 3 to 4 times as expensive. The ideal solution, for me at least, would be a non-OEM battery of good quality that doesn't "nag" me. Any thoughts / suggestions?

Frank:

The fastest, most hassle-free solution and most cost-effective solution would be to see the thread FS: Genuine Lenovo Batteries for T60/R60/W500/T500, etc. PIC. Alternatively, if you want to, use Google search this forum for "T60 replacement battery" (type in this text in the Google search-field and add "site:forum.thinkpads.com" to restrict your search to... here!

Thanks for the info.

I purchased a new OEM Lenovo battery for my T60 in October 2010 from http://www.acsfactoryoutlet.com for $90 + $10 frieght which I thought was a pretty good price.
