    T61 and 6/9 cell battery? I'm confused...

    I'm about to purchase a T61. I went through my employer's purchasing system, which redirects to Lenovo and there I can see/configure notebooks. First (pleasant) surprise was that I was able to configure a T61 with non-widescreen, while I have only seen widescreen when I go to the regular Lenovo page. For batteries, I get the choice between a 6 and 9 cell battery. But as far as I understand, the T61 batteries come in 4/6/7 cells. So now I'm confused. Anyone know if maybe the non-widescreen T61 have the other type of batteries? Or does that not make sense and I am somehow able to configure a nonsensical system?

    Here are the some of the specs of the model system I was able to configure:
    8895CTO ThinkPad T61 - 3 Yr Depot Warranty
    Processor Intel® Core 2 Duo T7700 (2.4GHz 800MHz 4MBL2)
    Display type 14.1 SXGA+ TFT
    System graphics Intel GMA X3100 GM965 w/o WWAN
    Battery 6 cell Li-Ion Battery

    Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks!

    14" Widescreen T61s have a 4, 6, 7 cell battery. (Similar to z61)

    The 4:3 aspect T61 and 15.4" T61s have a 6 cell and 9 cell battery, with the 6 cell flush with the case. (Similar to T60)

    Yes exactly, you just dont really hear much about the 4:3 t61's since most of us dont have the ability to order them.
