T60 (2613-CTO) Battery Issues

Hi all!

My laptop's battery LED is blinking orange and will not light up to green. It's not charging and it will not boot unless I plug in the AC adapter. Is my battery dead? If so, where can I find a cheaper, replacement part? The P/N is: 92P1137. Thanks!

It sounds like a bad battery. A replacement battery from Lenovo is $109. Look on EBay for deals, but do not purchase a non-genuine/after market battery.

Are you running windows? Normally you should get a message the battery has failed in my experience..
