This is the Lenovo Li-Ion 8 Cell battery for the Lenovo X60 and X61 TABLET laptops. It's great - 4.5+ hours of battery life while working.

However - make sure it is the one you need. The regular X60/61 battery will NOT fit the tablet (definitely), and vice-versa (I think). There is a big notch in the battery to accommodate the swivel hinge.

Also, I think the photo is of the 4 cell version, which is slightly slimmer. The 8 cell version sticks out about an inch, and is covered with a rubberized grip (works well, makes it easier to hold, as per an earlier review).

If you have a Lenovo TABLET PC, then this makes a great purchase. It's the original Lenovo part and it works great. If you have the regular version (non-tablet) of the X60 or X61, then get the regular battery (Thinkpad X60 Series 8 Cell High Capacity Battery,eight-cell, Rechargeable System

5.0 out of 5 stars Lenovo 8Cell Li-ion battery for X61 tablet, August 4, 2008

I already had a 4-cell Li-Ion battery for the X61 tablet. Bought this one to provide extended battery for my daily work. It can hold up to 5+ hours. Lenovo also has this great feature where in Control Panel-> power management->battery information, you can set your batteries not to start recharging when the power cable is plugged until the remaining charge is less than some value you set (I set it to 50%). Instead of fequently recharging from 9X% to 100%, this feature can save a lot of battery recharging cycles, and supposedly enlonger the battery life. Overall, I am glad with both of my batteries, and the tablet itself too.

This piece is amazing. Setting your computer on an economical power plan in the power options will give you power for 6.5 to 7 hours on full charge! I use the Edison power software downloaded from Microsoft's website and I have between 5.5 to 6.5.
