T61 CPU and Battery Compatibility

#1 Post by SeanBond » Sun Aug 07, 2011 7:31 pm

I currently have a R60 Thinkpad with a T7200 CPU and a 9 Cell battery that holds a good charge

Would the battery work in a T61? and would a T61 take a 667 FSB CPU if i get a T61 thats got a a lower CPU?

Cheers guys!

1) Find the #FRU on the battery and put it into google and you'll find out most quickly!

2) Depends on what 667 CPU
W520
T61

No, you said "a 667 FSB CPU"
W520
T61

I see where it says T7200...

I believe the T61 needs socket P processors, and the T7200 is a socket M processor (which would work in a T60).

Getting back to the OP's question, the 9 cell battery can be used with any T60 or any 14.1" 4:3 LCD T61 or any 15.4" T61. (The 14.1" widescreen T61 model takes a completely different style battery.)

The CPU will work in any T60, but not in any T61.
