1.0 out of 5 stars NOT LENOVO BRAND - Beware the bait and switch, September 2, 2009

I ordered this battery. The title says Thinkpad battery and just below it 'other products by lenovo'. The picture is of an IBM/Lenovo brand battery. I would not have ordered one otherwise. The order was through computer brain (there are several companies who end up selling batteries through this page). Instead of the lenovo brand battery I thought I was getting, I got a generic battery from "Premium Power" that was shoved into a box that didn't even look like it was the original box since the foam is not hte right size and the battery was just shoved in between two pieces of foam with the box bent outward.


*************** ADDITIONAL INFO - SILENT BATTERY RECALL BY LENOVO *************************
In doing further searching, I found that my original battery died because of a flaw and lenovo is doing a "silent" recall of the batteries. Go to this lenovo page: [...]APPLYCOUNTRY to determine if you are eligible for a replacement battery. If the link gets disabled by amazon, the title of the page is ThinkPad battery has low capacity or shows an "Irreparable damage" or "Battery cannot be charged" error message - ThinkPad T60/T61/R60/R61/X60/X61 - a search in google should find it.

I ran the utility, and filled out the form and lenovo is sending me a new battery.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT AN OEM BATTERY, November 20, 2009

This is a bait and switch Amazon Partner. The add shows a photo or an OEM Lenovo battery and the text indicates that the battery is a Lenovo Battery. BEWARE, these are not OEM Lenovo replacement batteries!!! They are a third party battery with a look alike Lenovo label. The battery does not contain the Lenovo OEM battery ID chip. Once installed the Lenovo Power Manager will identify this battery as "...the battery installed is not a genuine Lenovo battery..." and the dreaded exclamation triangle will appear ever present in the Power Manager status icon field.

AVOID THIS AMAZON PARTNER. This battery is a bait and switch third party product. NOT OEM. Shame on Amazon for continuing to allow this scammer to sell products based on bait and switch tactics and lies.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not original Lenovo as advertised, August 30, 2009

I ordered this product from Computer Brain because it was advertised as "Thinkpad battery by Lenovo", and the product image shows the IBM logo. When I got it I found that it is in fact a "Thinkpad compatible" battery made by "Premium Products". I have asked the vendor to replace it with an OEM product or give me a refund. I am waiting for a response from them. UPDATE: they agreed to take it back and refund my money. I sent it back 2 days ago, am waiting for the refund.
