Need to find reliable battery for Z61T

[HarryWild]

I purchased a Ebay battery for my Thinkpad Z61t as a second battery a while back and never got around to using it until now. Well, this battery charges up fine; but does not supply the notebook with power; so my notebook has to have an AC cord plug into it for it to work. The battery is in place but does nothing other then charge itself and go 100% but cannot be access by my Z61t. I have remove it for now.

Is there a way to possibly make it work; or do I have to buy another battery? And if I have to buy another battery; where can I buy one that "work" and at the best price?

Thanks.

Finally, purchased an Lenovo 4 cell battery - $195.00. It being shipped!

Will it time for me to get another replacement battery and there are not longer any OEM batteries for me to buy! All gone!

Who would you recommend on getting a Z61T battery that is 7 cell or better?

I have successfully bought a few batteries on eBay from SIB-USA and cbk_usa_electronics.

Probably 9 or 10 purchased, all did exactly what he said they would.
