What Battery?

[writegeist]

Hello:

I purchased an X60s laptop at a garage sale, but it only came with the plug and not with a battery. The price was right and I really like the size of the laptop. However, I've had a horrible time trying to find a replacement battery for it, not because there aren't any batteries for it but because I can never find the correct size/shape.

I've had to eat a couple of restocking fees because of it. The pictures that companies provide don't always reflect the product they sell, a lesson I've learned the hard way. If anyone can give me a strategy for figuring out which battery to buy I would be grateful. There doesn't seem to be any indication on the computer body that provides the information I need, but maybe I'm looking at the wrong spot.

Should I find a used laptop store and see if they can help? I'm just not sure.

I can provide pictures of the machine, but I'm not sure whether that would help.

Thanks for your help.

Just search eBay for "X60s genuine battery".

How about this one?

Nice find for a very good price.
BUT, if you buy the above battery, notice the two (shiny copper) screw-holes on the left lower part.
They are for mounting this spacer that you also need:
