Hello,
As some of you know, I recently purchased a T61, and now I'm in the market for some accesories. Now I need your guys' opinons. The laptop is coming w/ a 6 cell battery, should I buy a 9 cell, and use the 6 cell as a back up. Or keep the 6 cell, and get an ultrabay battery? Which combo would be most advantageous? Thanks for your tips
-
you should get the 9 cell it will last a whole lot loger and keep the 6 cell as back up ..thats what i would do ..youd bag yourself close to 6 hours of power with the 2 batteries...4:30 hours for the 9cell and 2:30 for the 9 cell

Since it always discharges first, the modular battery wears out rather quickly.
-
i don't know about you but i get 3.5hrs with my 6cell... well... with maximum power settings turned on and only word processing
-
Agree with above. Get the 9!
-
Im gonna get a 9 cell for my t61 too. How do i best store my battery? PLastic bag + fridge, right? Will it still wear if stored like that?

I have an ultra bay battery and while I think it's nice, another 9 cell would WAY outperform it. Looking at the price between the 2 the 9 cell is definetly more bang for your buck.

I would think that the only use of the ultra bay battery is for someone that wants more unplugged time without carrying separate accessories with the laptop. It provides a "cleaner" solution sort of. The other reason to go ultra bay is to avoid having to suspend the laptop use in the middle to swap batteries.

Well, the ultrabay battery discharges first so it's utility as a battery for when you want to swap the main battery is limited. Basically, if you planned to use it like that, you would have to stick it in when the main battery is about dead, let it run until it's about dead, then swap the main while it still has charge.
Have a 6 cell Battery. Should I get a 9 cell, or an ultrabay?
