I       tried one for a Thinkpad T40 many years ago, and the darn thing only ran 2 hrs       max. But when I found a supplier of genuine IBM batteries, the replacement ran       4.5 hrs. Same size (cells). Big difference.                            --        Kad esat sagriezis maizi, to vairs nevarat salikt.              --- TB(Stealth)/Win7        * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 120/340 601 154/10 50 203/0 221/0 1 6 242       SEEN-BY: 221/360 226/16 30 227/114 702 229/101 426 452 664 981 1014       SEEN-BY: 230/0 240/5832 249/1 206 317 400 280/5003 317/3 322/757 335/364       SEEN-BY: 342/200 423/81 633/280 3634/12 4500/1       PATH: 221/360 1 6 154/10 229/426           |
