Suggestion for place to buy a 6-9 cell battery for a t60?

[Killer_B]

Looks as though my current battery that came with my t60 is no longer charging, which was a little weird since it hadn't seen a particularly high number of cycles; Looking on the boards here, and elsewhere reveals that this isn't necessarily a case unique to me.

I have heard about the pros/cons about genuine/generic OEM batteries, where might be the best place to start looking for a replacement?

I'd suppose genuine might be preferable, so long as the cost isn't comparable to an arm and a leg.

Thanks.

Are refurbished by Lenovo batteries as good as new?
How much battery time can one expect from the 9 cell on a T60P?

Thanks for posting the link!

The battery I bought from the outlet looked new to me and had zero cycles. After nine months of usage, it retains 54W of its 56w charge capacity.

Coming back to the orginal question, where might be the best place to start looking for a replacement if you live outside US?
Lenovo outlet does not know about rest of the world.

Are those original Lenovo parts?

No, a genuine Lenovo battery would have a Lenovo logo in the upper left corner.

I think the lenovo outlet is giving awesome deals on batteries. My new to me T60 came with non OEM battery and I get an annoying "not genuine lenovo battery installed" message in the tray. Just got the machine so not in the priority list for now, but most definitely will be looking for one, hopefully in the not too distant future.
