Li-Ion 18650 Cylindrical Cell 3.6V 2000mAh Cell
Add Tab

Part#: LC-18650-2000

(Qty: 6 x $6.08)

Discounted Item. You Paid: $5.49

Total = $32.94 + S/H

But looking back, I think I need to understand the battery control circuitry 
better. Booting into windows, the machine almost immediately tried going into 
hibernation mode (since it thinks that the battery has a capacity of all of 5 
minutes). And the battery indicator blinking is quite annoying.
