    is it worth it to get? the battery life is average but it would be nice to get a bit more. its pretty costly ($260 canadian) anyone know a good place that sells them a bit cheaper?

    I was able to get the modular battery for the T41 for about $110US off Pricegrabber. The list on price on IBM's website was $190. It came in the IBM box and everything. I noticed you asked about watching movies in your other post. You could get an external drive that plugs into the wall, that wouldn't drain the battery as quickly. Or you could rip them to your hard drive while it is plugged into the wall and view them on the battery. Hard drives are not as power hungry as optical drives.
