1.0 out of 5 stars Verify it's new, genuine Lenovo; sellers may vary, April 21, 2010

This review is from: Thinkpad T60 Series 6-Cell Li-ion Battery (Personal Computers)

I purchased this battery because I wanted a new, genuine Lenovo battery for my ThinkPad T61 to replace a failing original battery. But not every seller of this item may be selling new, genuine Lenovo.

The battery I received -- while having a Lenovo label on it -- led ThinkPad's Power Manager software to report: "The battery installed in this computer is not a genuine Lenovo battery and may not meet Lenovo's safety and quality standards." The battery did not come with the usual Lenovo documentation or in standard Lenovo packaging.

It also had been on the shelf for several months before I received it, showing a manufacturing date of early 11/09; I received it 4/10, five months later.

I suspect the battery I received was re-manufactured, or had new cells, in a Lenovo battery shell (which also had a different Lenovo part number than the one listed here). I've returned it to Amazon as it's not what was represented. The seller I bought it from (fulfilled by Amazon) is, at least as I write this, no longer listed as an option for purchasing this item new.

It's worth checking ThinkPad's Power Manager after you receive the battery to make sure it's what you expect. A true Lenovo accessory battery also comes in a box labeled "PC Options" (Lenovo's accessory brand) with the part number 40Y6799 on the PC Options bar code label. Inside, there should be a Lenovo battery warranty flier with the battery. That's what arrived after I purchased a replacement from a different seller elsewhere.

This review is from: Thinkpad T60 Series 6-Cell Li-ion Battery (Personal Computers)

This "Thinkpad T60 Series 6-Cell Battery" is not "by Lenovo" as represented. It is not fully compatable with this laptop and raises some concern on my part.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, very recently manufactured, March 6, 2007

I'm doubly impressed with this battery. First, it consistently provides 2.5 hours of battery life on my T60p with the screen at full brightness. Secondly, the batteries being shipped are very new. Unlike many battery resellers these batteries weren't sitting in a warehouse for 6 months. I ordered and received a battery in mid-January 07 that was manufactured at the end of December 06 according to the IBM battery utility. Now that is a quick supply chain!
