are these two tablet batteries the same?

Hi, I am looking at these 8-cell x60 series tablet batteries on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/IBM-Lenovo-X60T-X61 ... 240%3A1318

http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Battery-for-Len ... 240%3A1318

and they have quite a big price difference. Are they official lenovo batteries or knock offs?

Both seem to be from a 3rd party. Not Lenovo official.

hmm as you can see, both of those batteries claim themselves as a replacement for the original one..so thats a clear indication that it is a "For IBM" kind of stuff..

and also one sincere suggestion is that try searching in ebay for the batteries through the original part nos. something with FRU or something...and then look for the original IBM stuff in those results..and good original batery is worth much better than buying multiple low cost ones!!!

have a nice day!!!!
