Re: Affordable laptop batteries and multi-charging unit

Hi Dave - we use ITXchange for most of the Lenovo batteries we purchase. They sell both new and used, manufacturer and generic. We always get the new Lenovo batteries - they come with the full one-year warranty. If they don't have what we want, we
generally check BlueRaven.com next, although their batteries only come with a 6-month warranty. They both seem to have pretty good pricing.

We are using the X60 tablet this year and will move to the X61 later this spring.
