Battery go bye bye

[Kyocera]

Just passing on my experience with a Chinese battery. Had it about a month had 2 whole cycles on it. Machine was off, removed it from the dock, tried to boot, the TP splashscreen showed then machine turns off Removed the batt - boots fine, with 8 cell - boots fine, with 4 cell no boot.

This was a 4 cell I paid 30 american dollars for so I took the chance now I go ahead and buy a real battery. Lesson learned stiff upper lip old chap, pip pip and all that sort of rot!



Luckily I still have my new Lenovo 8 cell, from the recall thing, and will not boycott Chinese food either.

I bought an 8 cell through an Amazon reseller for my X60T.

It is made by AGPtek and after trying two of them, they nicely refunded my money plus shipping. It would die unexpectedly every so often when it got down to 50 - 70%.

I went for a Lenovo battery from the outlet. I expect it to do better.
