Yes, we all lnow about that, but these things are out of production, and even the T42 types aren't really in stock anymore, unless here and there some left overs. Leaves you with second hand and/or ebay and other auctions.

And by the way, as most of you apparently have missed it: Lenovo announced it won't keep the change-batteries stock anymore, as IBM did (one of the reasons of their losses btw). So, if it was me, I wouldn't purchase a too old type anyway. 

Meanwhile I hope my TP41 will last for another 4 years at least. (-:
