LF: battery for T41

[kaczor47]

Hello,

I am looking for a battery (preferably 6-cell) for a T41 (4378-DMU). Does not need to be brand new, but would naturally prefer something with as few cycles and as much warranty as possible.

Trick is that you must be willing to ship to Australia or NZ.

I can pay via Paypal (just moved from Canada, still have a Paypal account with fund in it).

Hope someone can help.

thanks in advance

There are several on eBay that may meet your needs at a very good price...and they will ship to NZ.

I bought from RR and received a battery for my X40 and it had one cycle...his price for the T41 is $25.

Good luck...Bill

Thanks bill for the suggestion. Looks like a good option. If only I had a way of telling the approx cycle count. But I will give it a shot.

Send him a "question" on eBay...he is good to wrok with. Very friendly.

Good luck, Bill

I feel as though I should post a follow up...

Today I received the battery from the above-described seller.
Very good communication throughout, receptive to my questions, and overall very accommodating. Most importantly, the battery arrived with 2 cycles on it!

Highly recommended.

Sounds like a good place for NOS batteries. What was the fully-charged remaining capacity (design capacity is 47.2Wh for a 6 cell)?

I do not recall what it was yesterday upon arrival, but currently it is showing:
Full charge capacity 49.23 Wh
Design capacity 47.52 Wh
