Hello TPF!!
I bought this battery off of obay for my T61.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120914776700?ss ... 1439.l2649
After inserting it into my t61 and trying to charge it the battery LED blinks orange.
I let it sit all night, but it still blinks in an orange color.

Is it broken?

You better hope it is.

Because if it's not the battery, then your charging circuit is toast.

Remove the suspect item immediately.

Thank you for the fast and dramatic response!!!
I grabbed my T61, pulled out the battery and threw it dramatically on to my bed! :lol:

It's not the charging circuit, because I just inserted my 9 cell and it charges like a charm!

Good to hear.

Return that piece of garbage to the seller and check whether TuuS has any T61 WS batteries left, I got a brand new one from him a couple of days ago.
