T61 (7662CTO) in need of a battery

#1 Post by PFM » Fri Sep 12, 2014 2:45 pm

The original 9 cell battery in my T61 (7662) died shortly after I upgrade to Windows 8.1. Is there a recommended source for low cost original equipment sellers? I would take a 6 or 9 cell. Thanks.

Actually, I would buy an Anker battery from Amazon or the Anker distributer on eBay before I would buy another over-priced Lenovo battery.

Check the Amazon reviews and the eBay feedback for yourself.

6-cell for $33 and 9-cell for $39.

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. My current battery is a 42T5264. Hopefully they have a replacement.

UPDATE - Anker does not make a replacement for the Lenovo 42T5264 battery that came with my T61 (7662 CTO). Any other recommended third parties?

Anyone have thoughts on AGPtek as a replacement laptop battery? They seem to be one of the few that make one for the T61 14.1 widescreen. It's their model LI49 (9 cell). Thanks.
