Lenovo is offering free replacements for failed batteries

The Power Manager on my X60 indicates that a "battery error" has occurred with my 15-month old 4-cell battery - the entire message reads: "A battery error has occurred. The battery cannot be charged. Replace the battery.".

I just found this link on the Lenovo web page indicating that Lenovo has extended the battery warranty by six months for affected batteries that display this error message.

You have to download an application that will automatically check your battery. If it meets the"requirements", it then directs you to a web page where you can order the replacement battery online. The whole process takes only a few minutes.
