Hi all

Does anyone know a reliable place to get spare batteries for Thinkpads? Both batteries in colleague's machine have carked it, according to Vantage.

I've contacted Lenovo, no reply.

These are the battery specs from the lenovo support site (there are also some alternative models listed, not shown here):

    Try

    I've been using them for over a decade for camera/laptop batteries.

      How good are these compared to the genuine?

        I've never had a problem with any of them…
        They publish the capacities on their site, some are less than the originals, some are more…

        I'd rather buy from them than some random on the internet…
        They have a direct phone number and provide a 400 Day Money Back Warranty

        Second the recommendation, however the genuine batteries are better in my experience. Cleaner fit, less likely to have a fault.
        But BB's return policy is solid AF so never had any issues with getting faults resolved.

    Genuines available here. Cross reference with one of the batteries you currently have to ensure you order the correct type. I've ordered several from this company.

    Great thanks for the replies, jv and ozwog05

    betterbatt doesn't have a compatible internal battery for the machine, and the price difference for the external isn't big enough ($65 vs $80 for genuine from broadway) to justify buying from 2 different places.

    And so, broadway it is.

    Cheers again.
