Yeah, that's also a potential problem with gray-market batteries. They may be sealed from the factory, but if they've been sitting around on shelves for too long, they may be useless.
Batteries are a lot like milk. A very visible manu date in big letters on each battery would be a useful data point for consumers. Even then, some batteries last just a year, some several years (I'm referring to my experience mostly using them in UPS mode, rather than in mobile mode). >I called Lenovo and they told me to get lost ;-). > >(Actually, they said warranty on batteries is one year, even if they're >just sitting on a shelf.) > >Cheers, Alban > >> Why not contact Lenovo?
