T42 battery replacement question

[joamiq]

Hi,
I've got an IBM Thinkpad T42, and my battery has gotten pretty weak. I want to buy a high-capacity replacement for my current battery, which is ASM 92P1064/FRU 08K8193. Is the battery I should be looking for the IBM 08K8197, or should I look for something else?
Thanks!

the 08K8197 is what you want..
its the 9 cell version..
you DO known that it sticks out the back, right..?!

with a cursory search i discovered it available for $52 to $119..

OH!, welcome to the planetwidde thinkpad community and enjoy the thanksgiving holiday..

Haha, yes, I do. I figure I can deal with it. That extra space doesn't tend to be too precious to me. But thanks for the warning (and the confirmation) anyway!
Thanks for the welcome! I'm glad that my T42 has reached the 3 year mark and all it has ever needed is a new battery. Well, OK, one of the USB ports has stopped working and the CD/DVD drive sometimes decides to keep clicking rather than reading a disc. But overall, I love this thing.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
