good deal: IBM T R X Series 9 Cell Battery $33 @IBM EPP

Smoking, blazing hot, OP.

Serious green for you.

Good one, I found it. Though I don't need one, I already had a 6 and 9 cell battery.

I can be used in T40 T41 T42 R50 R51 I think.

No problem.
I tried to customize T42 and found those two part numbers.
Called IBM CSRs but he was clueless.
He only told me both part numbers brought out the same product.

And what is the difference between these two different part numbers?

Any good configuration for T42? I cannot find the 14.1 SXGA+ with R9600 model now <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border=0>

FWIW, these are fleabaying for $120, so this is SMOKING.

I'd like a battery too. Same problem tho...no code <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border=0>

works on a T41?

This is the best price I have ever seen on a genuine IBM 9 cell.

Even aftermarket 9 cells are selling for $100+ and they have spotty quality.

How long does a battery last usually?
By year or by recharged times?

thanks OP. I ordered one for my T40. Have 2 6 cell batteries, will be nice to get a new 9 cell

you newbie shut up, nobody is going to share the EPP id, now go away.

How much is your Brenthaven Case? Thx.

One caveat - I use a Brenthaven slim profile case (an amazingly great laptop case, by the way), and the my T42 will not fit in the attached internal padded compartment (with cover closed) with the 9 cell inserted. I have to store the 9 cell in the interior compartment, and travel with the 6 cell inserted.

Thinkpad T42 + Brenthaven Case + 1 6 cell + 2 extra 9 cell batteries = Road Warrior's wet dream!

I bought it off of eBay from a truly honest seller for $40. The only reason why I didn't get one from Newegg (see below) is because they were sold out at the time.

The best place to get them is Newegg. They have them brand spanking new for $89.

They are the best cases, bar none (IMHO), and I'm very picky. 1) Best protection by a long margin 2) Fits the T40/T42/T43 series like a glove, 3) Plenty of storage, pockets, compartments, etc., 4) Built to last a lifetime.

I looked at almost every case out there, and the Brenthaven is the Cat's ar$e.

There are different models there and I am kinda lost. TIA <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border=0>

Any battery discount for x30/x31/x32?

I can't use them with my X31, can I?

I am a student of a university which has an EPP signed up with IBM. I bought a T42 using it long time back, but I never entered this info. How to get hold of this information in such a situation? Any help would be appreciated.
