🎓 Reddit experts on laptop batteries
The comments and opinions expressed on this page are written exclusively by redditors. To provide you with the most relevant data, we sourced opinions from the most knowledgeable Reddit users based the total number of upvotes and downvotes received across comments on subreddits where laptop batteries are discussed. For your reference and for the sake of transparency, here are the specialists whose opinions mattered the most in our ranking.
Found this sub while looking for a new laptop to replace my surface pro 3. I'm a Psychiatry Fellow and spend most of my day typing notes while people speak, so a T series keyboard sounded like a good priority. I also do photography and graphic design on the side, utilizing several Adobe CC products, so 8th Gen processor, upgradeable drive/ram, and color accurate screen were essential. Almost went with X1C6, but ultimately, longevity and value (still just a fellow) were more important than portability and brightness. So in the end, the T480 seemed like the best fit (though I really miss having a touch screen).
Below is my custom config ordered during the Black Friday in July sale, followed by my mods:
Ordered specs:
Upgrades on arrival:
The screen is beautiful and I'm digging the anti-glare matte, though my SP3 glossy screen made colors pop more. I installed the calibrated color profile from the notebookcheck.com review of the T480s with what I assume was the same WQHD screen. Here are the instructions I used from notebookcheck.
Replacing the internal components was a breeze, though unfortunately, I watched the Lenovo disassembly video that showed front clips being disengaged with spudger, so now I have a front gap. Also broke a battery compartment clip but whatever.
I installed windows fresh using a recovery flash drive made before swapping in the NVMe drive. I'm fully updated through both vantage and windows update, which took a few hours.
Ultimately, I'm ridiculously happy with this build. The keyboard is a DREAM except for the annoying fn button placement (who thought this was a good idea?). I threw in a Logitech MX Master 2S for desk work, but honestly, this trackpoint is a game changer when I'm working on my lap.
Any other mod suggestions??? Questions??? Comments???
Well, first off: OS X 10.11 El Capitan isn't the newest macOS version for your MacBook Pro. Your MacBook pro actually supports macOS 10.13 High Sierra. High Sierra can still be downloaded from the Mac App Store, it is just hidden. Here is the link to it (click this link in Safari only, not in Chrome or Firefox!):
OS X El Capitan went out of support in the fall of 2018, so it has been missing out on security for quite some time. Every major macOS version has 1 year of mainstream support (the time frame between its own initial release and the initial release of its successor one year later) and two years of security support immediately after that. Security support includes Safari updates.
Mainstream support for High Sierra has already ended, but its security support only ends in the fall of 2020. So if you update your MacBook Pro to High Sierra, it is still safe to use.
-----
You can speed your machine up by adding more RAM and an SSD to it:
Your MacBook Pro supports up to 16 GB RAM (2 x 8 GB RAM modules). A higher amount than that won't work due to a limitation in the logic board.
You need to buy RAM that matches the following specifications:
PC3-8500 1066 MHz DDR3, 204-pin
Those are some examples of RAM that should work:
-----
As for the SSD, your MacBook Pro supports every SSD that meets the following criteria:
Here are some examples of SSDs that should work:
Before you install the SSD, it is advisable to create a backup of the files you want to keep. Store them on some external drive.
You can then reinstall macOS either via Internet Recovery or a macOS 10.13 High Sierra installer USB-Stick (which is the last OS your MacBook Pro supports).
-----
As for the battery: The battery is replaceable in MacBook Pros 2010. However, you won't be able to get an OEM battery Apple uses, most likely. Those are sold out by now and no longer available, unless you are extremely lucky. There are third party batteries that work, though, like this one for the 13" version(!):

> I also heard mixed things about the new butterfly keyboards, but overall it seems once you get used to them they make your typing faster? So that sounds good for me if it's true
The problem is less the feeling of the butterfly keyboard; beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The problem is that the butterfly keys sometimes outright fail if small particles - like dust - intrude under them. I have discussed the problem here (last paragraph):
Mine had the same issue: trackpad became increasingly hard to depress in the front corners as mouse buttons -- and then started to lift up -- first visible issue. I searched online and found threads like this. Opened the case and saw the swollen battery.
I searched re: batteries, and no WAY would get a "refurbished" OEM battery from Dell. I wanted something new, with new LiIon cells, etc. In the end, I purchased one on Amazon. It has mixed reviews, but it seems that some of the negatives were from totally clueless customers. The people who sounded credible gave it good reviews -- and I had to option to return it if there were problems, so I went ahead with the order. Overall -- a very positive experience. I also posted a review of the one I bought on Amazon. Here's the review I wrote, along with info regarding the manufacturer of the battery and cells inside -- every bit as credible as the "OEM" version (which Dell subbed out anyway):
Product URL: https://www.amazon.com/SWEALEER-Compatible-6GTPY-Applicable-Replacement/dp/B07DG1TZ4P/
Review URL: https://www.amazon.com/review/R30NMDTVN87GLI/
Body of Review (in case you don't want to go there...):
Product arrived in 2 days as promised. Very nicely packaged. The box was clean and the battery was inside an anti-static enveloped sandwiched between 2 layers of spongy foam. There was also a separate zip lock bag enclosed with the torx and phillips drivers needed to remove the laptop cover and battery. The whole replacement took just a few minutes.
The only concern I have is that the original battery was spec'd at 97 wHr, and when I general a battery report in Windows 10 using the command powercfg /batteryreport /output "C:\battery_report.html" to place the report at the root of my C: drive, it looks like the max capacity of this battery reads as 91.2 Wh (91,200 mWh).
Anyway - the laptop booted up perfectly after the replacement -- no BIOS issues or any other problems. The battery arrived 60% charged, and in less than 2 hours with the laptop connected via USB-C / Thunderbolt 3 cable to my Dell Thunderbolt 3 dock, the battery is already at 90%.
I also checked, and it appears that this replacement battery is made by LGC (LG Chem). They're the successor company to Lucky / Goldstar, a $20+ billion conglomerate based in South Korea. LGC is also one of the primary battery suppliers to Lenovo for their laptops. The original battery that came with my Dell XPS 15 9560 was made by Simplo -- a Taiwanese company (I can see that on the printed section of the old battery). Simplo is known for providing batteries for Macbook's. I have no concerns about batteries from either company. I'd just like an explanation regarding my new battery showing up as having only a 91,200 mWh capacity, when the original was spec'd at 97 Wh, and this new one is listed here at 97 wHr.
No one seemed to answer this for you so I'll try my best. This modding guide has a lot of the best parts this laptop can use including battery! Although I'd be aware of receiving a fake battery on Amazon or eBay. On Amazon, it shows $60, but if you type the serial number it should be on the Lenovo website for more money. You'll have to decide what the best option for you!
Everything that can be done to the T430 and best upgrade options!

Chinese batteries are really a hit or miss, and more often than not you miss. But my experience is, if they put a name on the box, they are usually better. The ultra generic ones that come in the plain cardboard box are usually trash, and do not work well at all, but if there is a name to live up to, I usually find that those batteries work the best.
here is one that I found on amazon, it looks pretty good, and has an 18 month warranty, and for $30 you really can't go wrong if you do get the 40Wh like advertised.
I like using my dog on the go,
Here's a quote from a response I gave to another using curious about E-Nano's on the go.

I got mine from CSE but it looks like it's unavailable now. (https://www.amazon.com/Laptop-Battery-Lenovo-ThinkPad-X60s/dp/B00R7AY7UU/)
​
Their competitor CWK has one available for $35: https://www.amazon.com/CWK®-Replacement-Notebook-Battery-ThinkPad/dp/B00RMPSCUQ
Once you get it, you can figure out the type of cells used with tlp-stat. Panasonic and Sony are both very good, I'm sure there are a few other good brands too. Some of the stock Lenovo had LG cells but personally I never found them very good. My CSE battery is over a year old and still has capacity over 100% of design. I cater it though by setting the max charge threshold at 80% and only charge when the laptop is off to keep it cooler.
​
Eh, you get what you pay for.
I got this guy: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UJ7NCVI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and for the most part am happy with it. I get between 2 - 3 hours per charge (I was getting 3 - 4.5 new), but I'm also a HEAVY user; even on the battery I've got a dozen apps open and my browser has like 20 tabs. I'm so that guy.
That said, for the price I love the thing. My old battery was getting maybe 45 minutes a charge and was off on its timing (it would say 5% left when it was far past that) so I lost work.
Easy to install, works fine, hasn't exploded. What else could you ask for.
As others have said, up the ram to 8-16 gb. Another thing I would think about doing is replace the battery. Often times refurbed batteries are terrible. I wouldn't reccomend third party batteries, as I have found the cells inside them are bad. I'd grab a 9 cell new lenovo battery from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-ThinkPad-Lithium-Battery-0A36303/dp/B0085MPGDG/
I also added a bay battery from ebay, but that's just personal preference.
In linux, install tlp, thinkfan, and the install the thinkpad kernel module. That software basically optimizes linux for the thinkpad. You will get much better battery life with all of that. Also, thinkfan will let you set the fan curve, and provides a better option for fan control on thinkpads compared to what is in linux out of the box.
Everything else should work just fine in Linux. Please note that 160 gb might not be big enough for both linux and windows. Linux will be fine with low storage, but windows is 20 gbs by itself. In addition, adobe CC is probably another 10 gb or so. Keep that in mind.
This one seems like a safe bet. There are some cheaper ones on there but it’s a good idea to buy something that has good reviews especially when buying Chinese stuff. If it doesn’t last as long as it should you have a month to send it back.

For the SSD, Crucial is fine. Any SATA SSD is fine. That was just a quick suggestion. All will provide a dramatic improvement in performance.
The specific battery I bought doesn't fit your model, but fwiw, I bought this battery from Amazon a month ago which was much cheaper than directly from Lenovo and I have had zero issues with it. Based on all the packaging and the internal battery stats, it appears to be legit. I've been using it for at least a few hours on battery every day and the capacity is currently at 99.9038% which seems reasonable to me for one month's use.

About a year ago I actually found a new OEM lenovo 6 cell on Amazon for $50. It was manufactured in 2016 or 2017. Not sure if these can still be found but this will probably be as good as a knockoff 9 cell. I would suggest looking for something like this if you can get it for a good price: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Battery-0a36306-Factory-Packaging/dp/B0085MPHGM/
The issue is that the chinese 18650 cells are usually 800mah no matter what it says on the packaging. For reference most LG or Samsung cells used in laptops are 1800-3000mah.
I haven't been able to find any good 9 cells under $100 but if anyone finds one I'd be interested.
Hi
I recommend not buying the 72Wh on Amazon. That particular model has not worked with the T480 for me. However, buying the 72Wh from Lenovo's spare parts website works fine and is only $80. link
Unfortunately, it seems these batteries are out of stock. I'm not sure where to get a working 72Wh battery.
The working battery that I have is a 61++ made by LG Chem from Lenovo's replacement parts site. The non-working battery is a 61++ made by Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. from Amazon (link). Both are real, genuine Lenovo batteries. They use a few different companies for batteries. I haven't been able to find out why the second battery won't work. It's detected as a battery in Windows and Linux, but all values (capacity, charge state, etc.) are unable to be read and the battery won't do anything. I've tried to find out how to debug ACPI, but I haven't found much.
I even got a replacement for the non-working battery, but it was the same manufacturer and still didn't work. I took apart the first one and all the cells were good, all the circuitry looked good as well.
Thanks, that's very helpful!
If that's the only advantage of the 470 I certainly don't care much for it, since the laptop obviously doesn't come with a 4K screen and I won't be plugging it to a 4K TV anytime soon.
Someone also told me that the T470 comes with a USB-C port. Which could be nice to have, but... even if smartphones use the C port now, I honestly don't see much use for it. Most chargers still come with a USB-A to C cable anyway, and other than that, I'd rather have more USB-A ports so I can plugin my work peripherals (webcam, headset, etc.) than have one less A port in favor of a C port.
Also, thanks for highlighting the differences between the T and the L model... it seems I underestimated them. Unfortunately I probably won't have much say on it, but at least I can try asking for a T460 if they're available.
Now that you mention it, I think people who receive an L460 are getting it with a weird "hump" below it that servers as battery extension. Probably this one.
It's damn ugly but I'm wondering if you would get better battery life with a "humped" L460 than a naked T460?
Finally regarding graphics, where does that difference come from? In the spec list in Lenovo website both are listed as carrying the Intel HD 520 integrated graphics?
Again, thanks a lot for your support, really useful!
I would probably take a chance on this $69 Amazon 9 cell.
I always sort by most recent reviews to ensure there are recent sales, and people are giving high marks. This one seems good.
Good luck.
I would echo luc1zh on this one. 66% isn't a bad capacity at this point - it would put you in the region of a brand new 6-cell. While you could buy a new 9-cell, that's going to be quite expensive and they seem to be quite rare.
Having been looking for a new 9-cell for my X220 since basically the day I got it 2 years ago, personally I believe it's too expensive to bother with. Tends to be £80 plus on eBay, and the official Lenovo is £69 on Amazon.
However, that's for official Lenovo batteries. The general wisdom is to go with the official batteries, but there are plenty of aftermarket batteries available. It's a bit of crapshoot; there's a huge price differential (I've just bought an aftermarket 9-cell for ~£15, for example) and you have to ask yourself - why is that the case? Is it because they're cutting corners on quality? The answer to that is likely, yes, they are - which could mean anything from: battery doesn't have the stated capacity, the capacity declines very quickly or even they've compromised on safety and the battery will blow up in your face - literally.
I guess what I'm saying is, you've got 3 options:
Well even on my pro model I mostly use it for one note, and Microsoft Office. I believe you'll find more value in it once windows blue launches and the app store grows.
I slowly find more and more useful apps ever months. Another one of my favorites is cocktail flow. I can list what drinks and mixers i have available and it will show me what i can make.
As for the Dell dock, hmm I didn't buy one. I assume that if you actually need to stand it up and have it "stationed" it could be useful. On mine I just remote desktop to my computer alot. I have no need of connecting my tablet to monitors when i can just link to my computers.
If you do need a case check out one of these. this one can fit on the dock
here is anouther case
I was planning on getting the second one.
Looks like he is just using something like this here to power it. Maybe his just holds more batteries though for longer battery life?
After looking into it a bit it looks like a standard AA battery is around 2000-3000mah (every brand and type will differ) so say you have 8 AA batteries hooked in parallel you would have something close to 20,000mah of power at ~1.5V.
I found a few interesting articles as well:
One, two.
I'm using a 9-cell 70++ battery that I bought brand new. It's produced through sanyo for lenovo. It appears genuine of course and has a energy full capacity of 100%. Manufactured in 2018. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085MPGDG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My Plasma battery monitor usually says I'll get about ~3.5 hrs out of it when I turn brightness down which I think sounds way too short. My original battery was manufactured in 2012 with an 83% capacity but the battery monitor read the same thing.
You think this battery is legit? I've seen people getting 5-6 hrs from this battery with proper power management but I feel like I should return it and tell them to get me a better one.
I'm looking for a replacement battery for my X200 as well. Generally, some common problems faced with 3rd party batteries are:
This seems to be one of the options with generally positive reviews on Amazon, doesn't cause warning messages to appear and supposedly works with the Ultrabase.
http://www.amazon.com/Anker%C2%AE-Laptop-Battery-Lenovo-ThinkPad/dp/B00AQ9RIAA
Hmmm. I gotta test those situations out.
>Does it charge when powered off but plugged in and with the battery? Could be a failing charger not putting out enough power. Seen it happen from all different brands over the last 25 years.
How do I see that? The four indicator lights at the bottom?
>Could also be an internal issue on the laptop itself as well depending on how the charging circuit is set up.
I usually keep my laptop plugged in 24x7. Like all the time, and the battery and charger are the original ones. Is there a way to test this out?
>If buying a Dell branded battery, don't spend $100 unless it is returnable.
I'm thinking of getting one from dell.com, they say it comes with a one year limited warranty. However, after reading your advice I looked at Amazon and found this cheaper version. Would you say it's worth getting a third party battery?

I have an X200 I rescued from a trash heap that I reinvigorated with a new battery, new ssd, and 8 gb ram. It's fantastic.
The battery I used was an Anker 6-cell: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AQ9RIAA?pc_redir=1395266463&robot_redir=1
The SSD is a samsung 840 120 GB: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E3W15P0?vs=1
I just picked up this one for my x220 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085MPIG6/
Replaced my old original 6 cell and after an initial calibration the difference is amazing.
Ninja Edit: Ordered from the "Blue Donuts" seller fulfilled by Amazon.
Maybe consider a Thinkpad. The T and L series are mil-spec tested so they should handle dust pretty well. They also have external batteries so you can bring a few extras to extend run time. Some models can also be configured with LTE if you need internet access in areas without wifi.
I'd recommend the L470 configured with the extended 72Wh battery, then spending the remainder of your budget on extra batteries.

EDIT: The T470 with the 61++ batteries is a good option as well.
I was looking for something similar, and went for a Lenovo Thinkpad X230 with a 9-cell battery.
It may be a little big for your liking, especially with the battery jutting out, but it's worth considering.
With the 9-cell battery, and powertop, it can easily last 6-9 hours, depending on what you're doing.
Idling, it can last well over 14 hours.
The touch pad isn't really all that bad, especially if you use the touch functions.
As for the battery, mine came with that battery but they are pretty easy to find. Amazon has it for sale but it's a little pricey. https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Genuine-Extended-Thinkpad-0C52862/dp/B00KOHS6UK
​
Here's a battery (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085MPGDG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I've had one for 2 years and still get over 5 hours of battery life.
Intel Centrino Ultimate -N 6300 AGN
any intel, samsung or corsair drive I would recommend. They are the top of my list. I've got a 500gb 850 evo mSATA now as my boot drive.
Have you thought about upgrading your CPU? I've got a 3820QM in mine and get amazing performance. You might want to upgrade your HFS though.
Okay, I need to rave about my new laptop.
Here's what makes this such a great laptop for AP -- it has two batteries. One of the batteries is removable while the laptop is running (hot swappable), and the laptop will drain that battery before the other battery.
So basically, you can buy these 6 cell replaceable batteries for about $50-70 depending on the day, and those each will get you about 4-6 hours of imaging time depending on what you're doing. When you buy the laptop, it comes with the internal 3 cell battery, and a replaceable 3 cell battery (at least if you get it via the link). So that already gets you about 4 hours of imaging in itself. So combined, you get a solid 8 hours of imaging without even needing to charge your laptop.
I really like it because I can just buy like 4 of the 6 cell batteries, and basically be gone for the whole weekend and not think about needing power for my laptop.
I'm running the SkyX Pro and TeamViewer w/ Wifi on for remote accessing, and those are about the battery life times I get. I also do my processing with Pix Insight on my laptop for the most part, and it runs fine.
I recently purchased a genuine Lenovo 70+ (6 cell) battery for a T430 from Power UP LLC on Amazon here for $32.99. It was listed as "Used, like new" and arrived sealed in Lenovo packaging with a cycle count of 0. Works perfectly.
If you want to save some money and get familiar with your Mac, you can purchase a battery, trackpad, and toolkit. This are for a 13" macbook pro A1278, so your pricing may be different. This repair is extremely easy and a guide can be found on iFixit.
Definitely get an ssd and take the ram up to 16 gb ram and you will have a really nice upgrade. I recently got a new 9 cell that's working really well for me. It's a 70++ battery: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LLT3ANI/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1494608188&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=lenovo+t420+battery+9+cell&dpPl=1&dpID=41J6AF9XnGL&ref=plSrch

This is what I would buy. Not as cheap as any of us would like, but not as expensive as Lenovo either. Also, I've bought batteries on Amazon before (for around the same price) and they were pretty legit.
So I had several closets that were very dark and hard to see in. None had outlets and I didn't feel like getting anything wired in. So I made these lights using AA batteries. You can find everything on Amazon. Perfect for apartments too! One closet comes in at around $30, less if you don't get nice rechargeable batteries like I did.

Amazon has it right now for $70, which is one of the best prices I've seen.

This is a legit lenovo battery, I have been using it for months with no issue.
I also don't think this laptop can really be called an ultra book at all. It's huge, it's heavy, it's thick. It's a great laptop but it certainly doesn't belong in the same category as the macbook air or dell xps 13.
Lenovo has removed some of these from the website (boo!). But the key is that 55++ batteries will do fine. Did you mean to pull the amazon.ca website?
Read the comments though - it sounds like it may NOT be the Lenovo battery. The picture is confusing, as it shows a 25++ battery.

Once you get your battery, go through the Power Manager settings as well - you can tweak your battery settings quite extensively.
Well lookee here :) https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Spring-Battery-Holder-Switch/dp/B00H8SV5HE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488217567&sr=8-1&keywords=8+AA+battery+case
The X230 is tricky; it's the first ThinkPad in the series to use digital battery authentication. That means, while a X220 battery fits hardware-wise, the software is incompatible and when you install a X220 battery Windows reports it as "not charging", thus, all X220 4-cells are incompatible.
The correct 4-cell battery for the X230 is Lenovo FRU 45N1019, and it indeed is $130 on Amazon.
But, there is a good reason why it's expensive. The battery must be made with a custom lithium-ion cell shape because of the limited battery thickness; standard 18650 cells are too big for the package.
If you get the more popular 44+ 6-cell LG Chem battery that has 18650 cells, Lenovo FRU 45N1025, its around $48 on Amazon.
It's not much bigger than the 4-cell physically. Here is a picture of the 6-cell.
this is the one i bought, not sure if that is dell branded or not. It has been working perfectly up until a few hours ago.
Dude just went through this for my brothers laptop found a re-seller on amazon that's reputable. Use wegener media I have bought a few things from them always in great condition and the battery I received had one charge cycle which I am assuming is the factory charge. Its very simple to change look on YouTube you need a special screwdriver called a triwing and a 0 or 00 Phillips you can strip the screws if you use the wrong size double check.

Pay the extra and get the real thing. I got this original Lenovo one and it's excellent.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0085MPIG6
I just purchased an "open box return" Lenovo 6-cell 70+ for $34.29 from Power UP LLC via Amazon here.
It arrived in original Lenovo packaging and had a cycle count of 0.
My T430 with an i5-3360M and integrated graphics gets about 5-1/2 hours of typical web browsing with that battery.
Why not fix the hinge (ebay) and replace the battery? Total should come out to less than $100.
It wouldn't surprise me if they did go down in quality, I don't have anything to add there. I bought a T420 last year and hoping to keep it for as long as possible.
A good solution is to recreate THIS . It doesn't charge the battery, but it gives you a lot more battery when your regular ones are done.
If you don't want the hassle of recreating it, I found this solution. A bit expensive but if you have no power source at all this may be a solution: Here
I prefer Amazon, as the reviews are of the actual product AND you can look at the seller rating also. Genuine Lenovo for $61.45. Third party but 5 star reviews for $35.
This should fit it.
Have you considered a [battery pack](http://www.amazon.com/ChargeTech-Portable-Universal-MacBooks-Motorola/dp/B00MVDRPR0 "amazon_link")? Then you could easily move the lighthouse around. Just a thought. You could even use a cheap car battery and inverter.

You think this is OK? Don't care if it's genuine or not, just about whether it can stay alive for a long time
[You can buy a new battery](Lenovo Genuine 9 Cell Extended Life Thinkpad Battery 70++ (Mfg p/n; 0A36303-70++, Original Sealed Manufacturers Retail Packaging) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LLT3ANI). Apparently they use the same type as W530. I might have to buy one myself :D
If you're not going to be gaming on it then any 2x4gb or 2x8gb potato sticks should work. If you need iGPU performance then you'll want 2133MHz potato sticks.
In terms of battery I'd only buy direct from Lenovo or from their Amazon page (link to 9 cell). Amazon link for 6 cell battery here. Buying direct from Lenovo ensures you get a genuine battery. You're welcome to buy cheaper batteries from Ebay or other sellers but they likely won't last as long as genuine Lenovo batteries.
Also if you're looking to upgrade the SSD to something modern, Intel's 545s is $180 for 512gb of storage
Amazon sells new, factory-sealed Lenovo 70++ (9-cell) batteries for the T430 here:

I feel stupid. My mistake. I didn't realize that the 6 cell was 3x the energy of a three cell.
For 60$ at amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Lithium-Notebook-Battery-0C52862/dp/B00DVNIT1K) seems like a worthwhile purchase particularly if I can find some housing to charge one battery w/o the laptop.

New batteries would give you 12v, which might drop as low as 9.6v during discharge... the lighthouses might be more voltage sensitive than that.

ended up going with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071G53YBQ/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That's correct. This is the battery that I upgraded to.
this one
This one, for the same model as you, 9560

Right here
Was $50 when I bought it, however.
I've been buying from Amazon instead of eBay latey. If there is a problem with it, Amazon takes my word and sends me another immediately.
If I were you, I'd buy this.
I have similar battery life these days. My battery is only charging to 29.9 Wh. Our machines are nearly identical minus the nvidia gpu. I was thinking about grabbing this battery on amazon with a design capacity of 94.4 Wh.

On the machine you should try to run the brightness as low as you can stand, double check that the cpu is idling at the lowest frequency, and disable anything you don't use (bluetooth, etc).
No? Lenovo lists the 68+ as $139.99 USD on their webstore.
Here, have an amazon link for $71.10 (time of post) http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Extended-Battery-0c52862/dp/B00KOHS6UK
The 9-cell? I just got one here - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085MPIG6/
Genuine, new, and also much lower than list.
Just a heads up, your link is broken.
I just ordered my T480 + extra battery and I can’t wait. Just ordered my extra six cell used from a seller off Amazon. Order details: Lenovo 6 Cell 72Wh Battery 61++ (4X50M08812, Retail Packaged) For P51s, T470, T570 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WGMPFCD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MV9-Ab12WAKX0)
Maybe.
I know they'll be sourceable for a while longer, but I do wonder what happens when the stock starts to get low.

The original lenovo website has it but its hell expensive. The amazon should be better.
