However, Power manager works well without saying that I have a non-Lenovo Battery. I looked at the battery with Everest, and it indicates that it's also Sanyo though I don't think so. Cheers! Hi Everyone,

I’ve just bought a new 9-cell-non-genuine battery for my Lenovo R500. However, Power manager works well without saying that I have a non-Lenovo Battery.
I looked at the battery with Everest, and it indicates that it’s also Sanyo though I don’t think so.

Cheers!

Please let us know you get along when you get your new battery. Hi Istvan,

From memory, yes it does, although I am not using my T61p at the moment as I have gone to the dark-side that is Apple Mac! Please let us know you get along when you get your new battery.

Does anyone know whether in power manager the charging treshold option and perform reset button would work with the non-genuine battery? I have read this blog but I haven't find answer for this yet. Thanks in advance. Cheers! Hi everyone,

I had this issue for a long time. My 9-cell Lenovo battery died on me abruptly. I later bought a 9-cell, Samsung manufactured battery (I bought Samsung because it's a brand I trust) and I kept getting that balloon! I eventually ignored it but I recently found an option that turns it off... Unchecking "Periodically show messages about battery charge capacity" in Battery > Battery Maintenance shuts down that pop up balloon. Anyway, I've been using the battery for over a year with no hardware problems (knock on wood). This was it: "High Quality Samsung Cell Non-OEM Replacement Battery for Lenovo ThinkPad T61p 8889 7800mAh 9-Cell". It was about $80. -Ian Great article! I had this issue for a long time.
