Where to buy new battery

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Hi,

I need a new battery for my Thinkpad T23 and would appreciate any
suggestions on reputable places where I can purchase one. Also, what
brand/type, etc. would be most reliable and long lasting?

Thanks,
GT

The problem with ebay batteries is that one generally doesn't know where
they came from or how old they are--they may be no better than the one that
is being replaced.

After buying and returning many batteries from various places, I finally
just picked up the phone and called IBM. It turned out there price was
right in line with what the others were charging, and, there product was of
*much* better quality and I didn't need to return it. It also had 15% more
capacity than the third-party batteries (according to the ThinkPad battery
health utility, not according to anyone's published specs).

I hate to say it but ebay works pretty well for this type of thing.
