    RIP OFF!
    I bought a certified laptop for IBM about 8 months ago, battery was gone in 30 days. I thought I must have done something wrong that totally blew the battery. Then 3 months ago I bought a refurbished lenovo laptop from Walmart which still runs great. 3 months ago, a few days after I bought from walmart I bought 2 IBM's from IBM Certified pre-owned or used product line. Samething happened 30 days later batteries where totally dead on both machines. I tried to contact customer service, still no luck
    As far as I remember company refurbished Walmart laptop is not the one refurbished for IBM.

    Which model did you buy? Anything older than like a T400 will have pretty worn down batteries. It's not uncommon for Sanyo batteries to take a nose dive after just a few months. Hope and pray you get a Panasonic. My T60's 6 cell was a Panasonic, heck even held like 34/56 WHr being a 5 year old battery.
