Buying new batteries - help

#1 Post by adamt56 » Wed Jan 02, 2008 9:04 pm

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has experience or the best advice to offer as to where to purchase a new battery (aside from the Lenovo website).

I would like to spend 50 or less but will shell out some extra as long as I know that I am receiving a quality product.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

Posting your machine type would help with suggestions on where to find the battery for it...

I've had good experiences with aftermarket batteries for T4x/R5x series, and these can be found in abundance on eBay.

You may also want to post a WTB ad here in the Marketplace section of the forum and see if anything comes up.
