Again, just to make it clear for prospective buyers, battery size
isn't a T40 vs T40p issue, just as screen resolution isn't.  At least
for IBM UK, you can get all variations of battery size and screen
resolution shipped with either a T40 or a T40p: the *only* inherent
difference is the graphics card.

As an example, this is my T40:

Of course, no matter what you buy, you can later buy a bigger/smaller
battery too.
