T420 - 9cell Battery where to get ?

#1 Post by Wiking » Wed Mar 09, 2016 2:14 pm

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.

you are very welcome!
hope the sale goes well and that your T420 will last longer!

i have a t410 (as u can tell by my name) and i have a 9cell battery from 14/6/2010 and was used from the power manager in 2010/11 so its very old but still works very well last for 1.3 hours on max perfomance but the laptop wasnt used for a year or 2 from i can see from the drivers when i bought the laptop on ebay for £130 in december/november last year. it was refebed has intel hd graphics and a i5 520m and 4gb ram just got a i7 640m for it and 8gigs of ram runs very very well.
