I'm on the fence about buying a new 3rd-party battery for my Thinkpad T480 as the current external 61 battery is only yielding ~3 hours on normal use (90℅ capacity, so still good given I bought the laptop used) and there's no internal one on mine.
I'm a bit wary of Chinese-branded and other similar no-name batteries as I recall having read an Amazon comment of someone's Thinkpad catching fire because of such a battery, which is why I'm more looking at brands like Green Cell.
So far I found the 01AV424 61+ battery by Green Cell, and even though they only list the "T470, T570, A475, P51S, T25" models it should still work with the T480, right?
Anyone here got experience with their batteries? Or maybe I should look for another brand?
Thanks!
For how long did you have that battery?
i bought one from ifixt 1 year ago 9cell for my w540 and this Christmas i bought a 6cell, and ive had and used both. the 9 cell gives me 8hours of battery of medium usage, web browsing, word processing and such.
