I have a Thinkpad R-52 When the battery in it started showing signs of death I priced batteries all over the place.. Batteries + was NOT the lowest price, but... they were very close to it. PLUS (Not really a pun) the battery they had was an "Extended Run" battery, this is a slightly larger battery (Sticks out the back) with 20% (in my case) more run time than the OEM.. Everybody else had OEM, so in fact the battery was less expensive. Brand was Ray-O-Vac (I think there is a relationship between Ray-o-vac and B+) PLUS (Agan it's not a pun) Batteries + has a bunch of birck and mottar stores.. There is one in Burton, Mi for example (just outside of Flint) and there is one in Farmington Hills, (Just outside of Detroit, I'm John From Detroit, the Farmington hills side of Detroit) so I was able to walk in lay my money down and walk out all in the same day.. Take the laptop with you when you go, make sure the battery fits, and you can re-cycle the old one while you are there.

I was looking for one for an IBM laptop, price of battery was cheaper but only half the amp/hours capacity as the orignal 2002 Rockwood 8272s 2005 Yukon xl Denali 6.0 The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
