Hi,
After 16 months of using, my battery started to die. It has almost 700 cycles and the capacity is about 35Wh left on it according to Lenovo power manager .
I looking to buy a replacement battery. I have and offer for 56Wh (6cell) battery for 50$ in my country but wanted to know if there is a place to buy 9cell for a decent price.
Any suggestion where to look ?

Best bet is to get new genuine batteries from ebay. Lenovo might still be selling the batteries, but they charge >$100 when you could get the same thing for much less.
