i'm just wondering, where do you people purchase new 9 cell battery? Do you buy them straight from IBM or are there cheaper places to get them? thanks.

Newegg traditionally has really cheap 9-cells ($100-120 I think). I checked a few days ago though, and they were out (and only had the 6-cells for $120).

I need a new battery as well, and I'm wondering where to get cheap, genuine IBM ones (since I know some people crack them open to put in cheaper/generic cells), and the slightly-higher rated T43 ones.

I have purchased a number of IBM Thinkpad batteries over the last 3 years from eBay, by carefully selecting quality IBM brand batteries, I have saved a lot of money and been very pleased.

Just do a search but be VERY careful as wording is everything in the auction text. Beware of very low prices.
