3.0 out of 5 stars Good battery but NOT for X61, July 27, 2010

Aug/10: Was told by seller that this model is NOT meant for X61. So whomever bought this for their X61, you would want to return it.

Aug/10: Ok, new problem showing up. Got this battery in Jun/10. Battery is now saying "plugged in, not charging". I'm loosing battery power!!! I am able to use adapter by itself without battery. Gonna have to knock those stars off if this is the battery's problem. Waiting to hear back from seller.

Jul/10: I have X61 Lenovo ThinkPad. The battery works well. I didn't know these steps about maintaining battery, but after a fluke of forgetting to lock the battery and the battery kept dying on me, I learned these from e-mailing the seller (they are very helpful and gives fast replies)...
1) when you receive it, immediately charge it fully 100%
2) fully discharge it (I discharged it until 5-10%)
3) repeat fully charge/discharge for 2-3 times.
4) "it is recommended that you should use the battery once every two weeks, and keep the battery in the system so that the AC adapter can keep the battery charged at all times. It is also recommended that if you don't use the battery for more than two weeks, you should completely discharge the battery and store it at room temperature"

Another review here seems to have been posted to the wrong page. This battery is made by Lenovo, sold by Amazon, and has the full (5.2Ah) capacity. I just received mine.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended, December 27, 2007

The product pictured shows a Lenovo X60/X60s extended battery, while the product being sold by BrtilliantStore is a generic non-branded battery.

Original Lenovo X60/X60s extended battery has a capacity of 5200 mAh, this battery is only 4400 mAh.

This battery doesn't fit well into the laptop, one of the locking mechanisms doesn't easily latch so the battery may accidentally fall-out during use. Additionally, it sticks out further than Lenovo extended battery making the use of the docking station difficult.
