Can anyone suggest a good, affordable source for a high capacity 6 or 9 volt battery that fits a T60 2623D6U? Also which manufacturer is considered best (Panasonic, Sanyo or Sony)?

The FRU part numbers are 92P1137 92P1139 92P1141 92P1131 and 92P1133.

Apologies if this information is available through previous posts. I looked but could not find a consistent answer.

They did have some scratch and dent batteries the other day in the outlet for $50. I bought one when they had them for $40. It looked new to me and had zero cycles. They only had a 90 warranty, but it seemed like a good deal for a genuine battery. You may wish to keep an eye out there.

Regarding manufacturers, here's a writeup I made once (wow, more than three months ago):

Personally, I lean towards Panasonic, but they are not easy to come by. The only way you can be sure which manufacturer you're getting is ordering directly from IBM/Lenovo based on FRU. And they are not always available.
