Battery for IBM Thinkpad

This is not the real product, and Ritz is not the real vendor. Apparently they have some other reseller called D&H list items on their behalf whithin the Amazon site. Originally this item was listed as a real IBM product, in fact it is an eReplacements product, but D&H used the bait and switch tactic of changing their ad details after I purchased. Then claimed I should not get a full refund. I had to get Amazon involved and they took care of the issue 100%. But who wants to waste time with a purchase – I just want what I paid for; don’t do business with these folks, they are dishonest!

I purchased this replacement battery with the idea that my orginal battery had lost some of its charging capacity. My maximum usable time unplugged was averaging around 20 minutes. After receiving my new battery and ensuring that it had a complete charge, I was very much dissappointed with the incremental improvement as I had only gained and additional 10 minutes.

I would not recommend this product as the price far out ways the benefits.

I can’t believe that there is not an extended battery out there for these T30 models?

Be entirely sure you are buying the T30 IBM battery, not a compatible battery, even if the price tempts you. The sellers are intentionally unclear about whether the battery actually says IBM. I’m on my third battery and refuse to buy any more headaches. From whatever seller you buy it, make sure the battery actually says IBM.
