As if I don't have enough problems today at the university I tried to
turn on my T61 and nada. I would boot only with the power cord. The
battery was completely flat. I had used it on battery power earlier in
the day for 15-20 minutes with a full charge, then shut it down.

Evidently the nine-cell replacement battery that I bought on eBay has
croaked. I still have the six-cell that came with the T61. Does anyone
have any suggestions for a place to get a nine-cell that will work for
more than a few months without dying?
