    Is it possible to order battery by manufacturer?

    My W530 has the Sanyo 9-cell battery (FRU 45N1007), and it's down to around half of its original capacity. While I understand that's fairly normal for most Lithium-Ion batteries after almost 3 years, I've heard the Panasonic batteries last a lot longer. On Lenovo's site and others, I can order the "ThinkPad Battery 70++ (9 cell)" under the part number 0A36303, but I want to know if I can specifically order the Panasonic 9-cell battery (FRU 45N1011 or 45N1173, I believe) instead of just ordering by part number and hoping I get lucky. Anyone know if this is possible?

    As far as I know, the answer is "no".
