   This battery is advertised as being a 9 cell extended battery for a Lenovo Thinkpad T61. Unfortunately it is not for a T61. Or at least it won’t fit my T61. Not even close.

   Unfortunately Amazon seems to be reaching its goal of becoming like EBay. I don’t think that is a good thing, as this is the second wrong part I have received from Amazon LLC this week.

   The battery I received didn’t fit my 14″ Lenovo T61 either. On top of that, in order to get a refund, I have to pay a 10% restocking fee.
   
   Since it doesn’t seem that I am the only one to have this experience, you should look into this, Amazon. I won’t buy from Databazaar again.

   They received my return on Nov 27. It is now Dec 29, and I still have not received a credit. I called them and was told they would expedite my credit – I should expect it in a week. This is one of the worst experiences I have had shopping through Amazon.

   I have a 14” wide-screen T61 and after all those reviews where people couldn’t fit the battery on their computers I was kind of concerned. The battery arrived in the expected time… no problems with that, and it fitted on my computer. It gives me around 5 hours (from 100% to 1% of the charge) which I think is as expected. It is a little bit bigger than my original battery, but still the computer fits in my backpack with no problem.
   
   I think the sellers of batteries should be more specific about which exact models are compatible with which exact batteries to save some bad reviews.

   First of all this battery is the original replacement for a T61 14′ wide screen. For those who say the battery doesn’t fit in their computers, it’s evident they have another model of computer. It’s easy to find which battery is right to which model; all the information is at the Lenovo website.

   I bought the battery from ANTOnline. I got it in 3 days, and as I was expecting it arrived in the original package with the labels from lenovo.

   I put it on my laptop and not problem at all. The power manager recognized it immediately and this is the information from it:

   Manufacturer Name: SANYO / in the label on the package says Lenovo, but it was the same with the original that came with the laptop so no problem at all.
   
   Manufacture Date: 12/24/2009 / in the label on the package says 12/26/2009 which means the battery is really new.
   
   Designed Capacity: 84.24
   
   Full Charge Capacity: 88.50
   
   Remaining Capacity: 88.50 (Greater than the designed capacity actually)
   
   Cycle Count: 1 (The first charge I made)

   I have windows 7 in my machine and it last an average of 6 hours working intensively…programming, using databases(oracle), etc.

   So all in all it’s been worthy the $129 I paid for it and I’m very happy with my purchase.

   I recommend it to anyone looking to replace the battery for a ThinkPad T61 14′ Wide Screen.

   This is NOT the battery for any T61 widescreen, only the 14.1in widescreen T61. The 14.1in STANDARD T61 and the 15.4in WIDESCREEN take part number 42t4511, which is no longer sold by lenovo.
