Has anyone used this new 9 Cell battery for the T61? I just ordered one but it's on a month backorder time.

Has anyone seen any pictures, or know how much this sticks out the back?

It's like the 6-cell battery on 14.1" wide. Just a bit fatter and curved up. Exactly the same battery used on the new T400.

Hey is your battery still on backorder? I'm thinking of getting the 9cell, but not excited about waiting 8 weeks

Still on back order, last I heard it would be middle or end of October. Good thing I'm not in a hurry.

My 9 cell won't let me push the screen completely flat. I guess its the older model now. Part number 42T4530.

that was mentioned in the Lenovo Blogs thing. You can only go 160 degrees instead of 180 with the wide 9 cell.
