T42 battery question

[Binglehopper]

hello all,

quick question, is the high capacity battery for the T42 (the 9 cell i think?) any bigger physically than the regular battery? I've seen some laptops w/ high capacity batteries that were bigger and sort of stuck out from the laptop.

thanks

Yes, that's the one - it sticks out the back.

how much bigger is the 9 cell battery?

and how much more would you say it sticks out the back?

never actually seen one of these on a thinkpad before.

thanks.

You can see the 9=cell next to the regular 6-cells. It's just as if you had an extra "cylinder' (like the moulding around the 6-cell battery and the bottom of the laptop) sticking out the back.
