I just paid $49 for one at battteryrefill.com and of course have to send in the core. As stated on packaging info you have charge and drain it at least 5 times to get the best results. I did the first cycle last night and lasted 2hrs 50min.

Even though the battery does look rough. They could spend more time finishing the product better, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Do you have a picture of how the end product turned out, vanaya? I have a few batteries I would like to send off, but am a little warry as to how much I can sand off of the refill (the glue they use)

I just got my T40 battery back from them. Didn't look too bad and it charges up to 43wh after 12 charge/drain cycles. A bit less than the design capacity of 48wh but not bad for $45+$10 shipping.
