Anyone know of a good (reliable,$) source for a T4x battery, 6 or 9 cell?

I have had very good results over the years ordering various IBM/Lenovo generic batteries from several different reliable ebay suppliers. Now I know that the faithful here will blast this statement: I would rather buy three or four generics for the same price of just one Lenovo branded battery. I believe this is most cost effective.

Folks will probably say I will have problems with generics. They are a gamble, for instance. However, look at the Lenovo battery problem with name brand Sony! I wouldn't be surprised to find out that my generic batteries were made in the same factory as the name brand.

My last battery purchase was just a month ago for a 4 cell X61 battery. It looks and fits identically compared to the OEM battery. It has the same 2.6aH rating. It just doesn't say Lenovo. It cost only $34.95 delivered versus $130 plus shipping and tax from Lenovo.

you might want to post a 'wtb' in the marketplace. the sellers here are the best.

I've bought 3-4 NOS[1] batteries off eBay sellers with high feedback (you really need to consider feedback). You just have to watch the auctions and keep your searches sending you updates.
