    Does this exist? I looked through about 20 different threads and couldn't find a solid answer. I am 99% sure the T61p has the Ultrabay Slim, not the regular sized bay.

    If it exists, please post the model number or a link to purchase it.

    And what is the difference between the:

    ADVANCED ULTRABAY BATTERY ($50)

    and the

    ADVANCED ULTRABAY BATTERY II ($100)

    They are both T60-series compatible, both 3-cell, both 0.52 pounds. The only thing different that I can find is that one says Lithium-Ion and one says Lithium-Polymer.

    Any huge difference in added battery life?

    Lithium ion is the material used in your regular battery, the charge decreases after time whether you use it or not. Check the Battery guide on the forums and there is a good explanation on the difference between the two

    I think the first one is for older models (40 series) and the second is for the more recent ones. Any links?

    Do you have the nine-cell already? If not unless you're really concerned about weight, I'd suggest going that route first. The ultrabay battery wears out quickly since it discharges quickly.
