    Will this ultrabay battery work with T61?

    But of course, they have to change the design every few model revisions so we have to pay more for the newly designed stuff to go with it!
    Makes perfect sense...

    I did also have a google /ebay search for these two types of batteries. It seems the Ultrabay Slim is an older model with lower capacity. Also the used battery seems to have even shorter battery life (according to one of the seller on ebay, saying how long he could use the battery on his thinkpads..). Maybe it's better to buy a new one for maximum performance.
