T42 - best replacement battery

I bought an IBM / Lenovo T42 on Ebay and the battery appears to be
draining relatively quickly.
Does anyone have a recommendation for replacement batteries? There seems
to be many non-IBM listed on EBay in the $45 range, are they any good?
Thanks
Lou

Re: T42 - best replacement battery

Beware batteries from unknown parties - LIon batteries have a shelf life,
and you could be getting a dud or near dud.

Try http://www.batteryrefill.com/ - they put new cells in your battery,
generally with more power than original (longer run time!). Prices are
reasonable, turnaround time pretty quick. They gave new life to my Omnibook
XE3.

Re: T42 - best replacement battery

Val,

Who do you recommend for new laptop batteries and why? Doing some
research on what is available out there.

Thanks,
Patrick
