   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.

   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.

   I travel often and i always take my notebook the Lenovo T60 with me
   
   My original 6 cell battery is good but it doesn’t stay that long
   
   So i decided to go for the 9 cell i ordered it from ANTOnline and
   
   It came on time this battery can stay for more than 6 hours!
   
   Thats enough and exactly what i want i highly recommend this battery
   
   For ThinkPad users who are on the move and want the ultra Long life battery.

   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.

   I ordered this product from Computer Brain because it was advertised as “Thinkpad battery by Lenovo”, and the product image shows the IBM logo. When I got it I found that it is in fact a “Thinkpad compatible” battery made by “Premium Products”. I have asked the vendor to replace it with an OEM product or give me a refund. I am waiting for a response from them. UPDATE: they agreed to take it back and refund my money. I sent it back 2 days ago, am waiting for the refund.
