    So My t60 is due to ship with a 9 cell. And while i need that for the flights betwen home and school or just long days at school, I think for other times Im going to want the portability of a 6cell (so it can fit into nylon case) and media bay. Do the batteries I see on ebay work with the new t60? I know the 9cell is unique to the z60 & T60, but what about the others (media bay battery and regular battery)?

    You need to get a Lenovo made modular battery.

    If you look on lenovo's accessory page, the T60 battery is listed separately from the t40/r50 series batteries. It also has a different size, weight, and amp/hours, so I'm guessing you have to get one specific for the t60.

    IIRC abaxter's review of the T60 showed differences in the connection of the T60 battery from teh T4x ones, so that would affect both 6 and 9 cell ones.
