1.0 out of 5 stars Lenovo Battery, July 31, 2009

This battery is advertised as being a 9 cell extended battery for a Lenovo Thinkpad T61. Unfortunately it is not for a T61. Or at least it won't fit my T61. Not even close.

Unfortunately Amazon seems to be reaching its goal of becoming like EBay. I don't think that is a good thing, as this is the second wrong part I have received from Amazon LLC this week.

I have a 14'' wide-screen T61 and after all those reviews where people couldn't fit the battery on their computers I was kind of concerned. The battery arrived in the expected time... no problems with that, and it fitted on my computer. It gives me around 5 hours (from 100% to 1% of the charge) which I think is as expected. It is a little bit bigger than my original battery, but still the computer fits in my backpack with no problem.
I think the sellers of batteries should be more specific about which exact models are compatible with which exact batteries to save some bad reviews.

The battery I received didn't fit my 14" Lenovo T61 either. On top of that, in order to get a refund, I have to pay a 10% restocking fee.
Since it doesn't seem that I am the only one to have this experience, you should look into this, Amazon. I won't buy from Databazaar again.

They received my return on Nov 27. It is now Dec 29, and I still have not received a credit. I called them and was told they would expedite my credit - I should expect it in a week. This is one of the worst experiences I have had shopping through Amazon.
