    I am thinking about buying a new battery for my T60 since the current battery has developed quite a memory. So I wanted to check out the prices online on the Lenovo site, but I cannot find any T60 batteries at all. Have they stopped selling them, or do I need to do this another way? If you find T60 batteries please post a link for me, maybe I was looking in the wrong place, but I highly doubt it. Thanks in advance!

    Try:

    Ebay, Lenovo, Search Engine (IBM Thinkpad T60).

    There are lots: 6 & 9 cell batteries!

    I don't have first hand knowledge, but it appears as if there are some supply issues with batteries right now. Lenovo has started removing things from their site that they can't provide in a relatively reasonable amount of time. However, you are probably looking for one of these two items, which can be found elsewhere:

    Thanks a lot guys! That really helped. I think I am going to place an order for a 9-cell battery on newegg.com later today. Do you know how much longer they last than the conventional 6-cell batteries?
