## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it true that I need to use battery to 2% before charging it for the first time?**
A: The main reason for asking such a task is to calibrate the computer to the battery, so while it is not required, it may be a good idea, yes, that first time.

**Q: My original 42t4677 battery is 10.8v, 4.75ah.  this replacement has higher output. will this one be okay for my thinkpad t400?**
A: Higher output usually just means more power cells in the battery. Line up the connection to compare. If it fits it should work.

**Q: I got a Lenovo T61 which has a dead battery.  Will this work for my computer?**
A: It looks like it will if you have one of these models, check on the sticker on the bottom of your laptop: "ThinkPad T61 MT MT 1959, 6377, 6378, 6379, 6480, 6481, 7658, 7659, 7660, 7661, 7662, 7663, 7664, and 7665".

Based on Lenovo's hardware manual, found here: https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/42x3547_05.pdf. The manual lists FRU "42T4530" as a compatible part, and this ad posting references compatibility with "42T4530".

It worked on mine, which is model 7663, but there are other models of T61 which are not compatible with this battery.

**Q: it fits for thinkpad t400?**
A: i needed a battery for thinkpad t400 and this one worked perfectly and was reasonably priced

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works just fine for my Lenovo ThinkPad R61 laptop
*by R***S on April 25, 2023*

I brought this battery at a good price to replace my old battery that I had since 2010 that until a few years ago couldn't hold a charge anymore and is now a dead battery. How long this battery will last, only time will tell before getting another battery.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good battery
*by A***R on November 8, 2021*

I like because just plugged in and works great, It does not seems to last as expected, only about one hour, without charging.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little large, but fits
*by G***. on February 25, 2023*

Being a knockoff product, the physical tolerances aren't as good as they could be - it is hard to slide in and out or lock in place, and it sticks out of the bottom a little bit.
