My T61 is now going on 5 years, and 3 months old. It's still on it's orignal battery ( although it's only getting about 30 minutes per cycle ). I just sold my iPad 3rd. Gen, and will now use my T61 exclusively. Thing is, I need a new battery. I'd like to get a new 9 Cell battery, and I've searched on Amazon and found a few 9 Cell options for under $50. Should I chance getting a no-named battery from Amazon, or where does most people get new batteries from ? I tried looking at Lenovo but not only do they want WELL over $100 for a 9 Cell, but I cannot even find a battery option when I look under "T61".

Any help would be greatly appreciated !!

You could try eBay with US sellers selling Genuine Lenovo 9 Cell Batteries like this one for example (or for 15.4" ones here). The sellers offer a 14 day money back guarantee and you will have PayPal protection too if things go wrong or it happens that you're not satisfied with the product.
