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

By	Karen U "Mom of 2" (MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: ThinkPad T/R/W/Z/SL Series 9 Cell Li-Ion Battery (Electronics)

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

By	Brian Mink (Monona, WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: ThinkPad T/R/W/Z/SL Series 9 Cell Li-Ion Battery (Electronics)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Battery performance is great!, January 29, 2008

I bought a pair of these batteries for my two sons in college. The standard battery supplied with their computers would hold a charge for about 2 hours. These new batteries will last them for a full 6 hour day on campus! They now have the freedom to fully utilize their laptops - even in areas where no power outlets are available. Well worth the cost for that flexibility.
