    Anyone have experience with Lenovo refurbished batteries. Do they just replace the cells? Do try last as long?

    The question is: where to get it?

    The questions are the sentences preceding the question marks.

    If you're talking about offerings from the Outlet, every single battery I ever received from there was brand new with 0 cycles, and behaved as a new battery. Some were "scratch & dent" and some were supposed refurbs, but I honestly doubt that they go through the trouble of actually doing anything with them...

    Obviously, YMMV.

    This made me laugh.


    I don't know how old your computer is but I bought a new Lenovo battery for my 3 year old Edge for I think $40 less than Lenovo was charging. And it looks and acts like a new battery. I took my chances as the laptop is 3+ years old and I am waiting on the T440s.
