NEW Laptop Battery for IBM 42t4566 42t4569 Thinkpad R60 T60 T61 T61p r61 r61i r61e

Good shipping time. seems to be working just fine in my Lenovo T61. Nice fit, not loose at all as some reviews claim. Battery seems to last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours or so. This laptop has a fan that starts and stops, as well as an old 5400 rpm hard drive. Now that I'm satisfied with the battery 9and I upgraded the memory), I'll install a SSD drive. That'll reduce the power consumption (no hard drive) and heat which will reduce the fan power consumption, so I expect the battery life will increase. That was my finding with a different (Toshiba) laptop I did the same thing to last year. Oh, and the combination of additional memory and the SSD drive greatly improved the performance/speed of the laptop, recycling an 8+ year old laptop that is more than quick enough for all I do with them. I bought my prior battery from this seller which was another reason for me buying this one. I'm satisfied. Four stars because I want everything- an inexpensive battery that lasts 4 hours....lol.

T60 Laptop battery. The battery isn't bad for the $15 price tag. It lasts about 45 minutes to an hour on the high performance setting. You get what you pay for. I just needed something that would last a bit while I moved the laptop from room to room and a few minutes outside. The original battery was over 10 years old and lasted about 5 minutes. I gave it a 4 star because it cheap and does what I need. The price a a battery from Lenovo is more then the laptop is worth. After I use it a few months, I'll try to update and let everyone know how long it lasts.The last battery I bought lasted about a year before it took a dump.

My laptop is "ancient" and thus the original battery was completely dead and unable to be charged. Since I always use the laptop while it is plugged in it didn't bother me too much. However, I got tired of all of the nastygrams so I wanted to find the cheapest replacement battery I could get that would work. Thus, it was not that important to me to get one that would power the laptop standalone for many hours at a time. This battery fit the bill. It arrived quickly, and I had it installed within seconds. It fit like a glove. No more error messages. I did follow the instructions and went through the initial charging and fully draining steps just for the heck of it. Personally, I don't think it would run more than 2-3 hours on the battery alone, but like I've already stated that is not important to me. I would have bought it a lot sooner if I had known how inexpensive it was going to be.

The charge doesn't last long - between 1-1/2 hours or 2 from a full charge; but for the price, it might be useful. I needed it because my battery was dead dead (yes, I typed it twice). The laptop would immediately shut off whenever I needed to unplug the adapter ( to print, switch locations, etc.). So now, problem solved and I even get a little extra time to stay unconnected!

The battery fit my trusty old R60 snugly. With WiFi and Bluetooth on, some internet use, but mostly word processing, I am getting about 2:45 of usage time. I haven't tested it otherwise, but that seems entirely fair for what I paid.Other reviewers indicate the product's charge does not last, that it decreases over time. I will update my review if it declines significantly or fails outright.

It works great. Just installed and charged it in full. It last for a few hours, similar to a new OEM batt. I can not comment on a long run. I bought it for a spare laptop so I do not use it much.

Thank you so much!!!! I had to say a prayer hoping this worked and was happy to see my computer load up.

The battery is the correct one for my application and at first it seemed to be just what I needed to work on my laptop for an extended amount of time. The battery life is less than expected. Only about 2 hours if I am careful. With a Centrino based processor and intel graphics the battery life should be at left 3-4 with care. The battery rating for the original battery is 4 hours. Price was good and shipping was quick, just a little disappointed in performance
