I have found that buying any kind of "cheap" battery to be an expensive proposition. Some vendors will have great prices on batteries when they're closing out a line, but in general the cheap ones are at least 50% more suspect than the OEM ones. Batteries are easy to make badly and there are a lot of examples of them. So, yeah, I'd say to good to be true. --STeve Andre' _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
