Source for X300 batteries?
Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2016 10:15 pm
I recently purchased an X300. Love this machine. Unfortunately, the batteries that came with it are shot: a 6-cell with 42% capacity, and an ultrabay one with 58% capacity. Between them I get 100%, a pretty lame 1.5 hours of battery time. Needless to say, it would be nice to have more.
I tried an $18 generic replacement 3-cell battery from an eBay vendor and had a lousy experience. The battery didn't actually charge, and I even had to pry it out because it wouldn't eject properly. I realize that I got what I paid for. (Thankfully, I was able to return it.)
I realize that genuine Lenovo batteries for this model are going to be impossible to come by at this point, but are there some non-brand ones that are good? I'd like to replace both batteries. If anyone can please direct me to some suppliers on eBay or otherwise, please do so. Thanks in advance.
