Lenovo Offers Replacement for Malfunctioning Notebook Batteries

IBM supply batteries is very well.Now,you can say “lenovo”,it is offering free replacements for batteries in six ThinkPad models that claim they’re damaged or can’t be recharged – but at least they aren’t catching on fire.

Previously, when you bought a Lenovo ThinkPad you got a 1 year battery warranty. If you had a 3 year system warranty, your lenovo battery only had a 1 year warranty. We all know that batteries are not good for a lifetime and will likely need replacement several times within the lifespan of the laptop itself.

Beginning May 19th, Lenovo launched an extended battery warranty program for ThinkPads. You do have to purchase the battery warranty within 90 days of system purchase, which I believe applies for a regular extended warranty as well, and the term of the battery warranty must match the system warranty.

Computer maker Lenovo is offering replacements for batteries in six of its Thinkpad notebook computer models that claim they cannot be charged or are “irreparably damaged.” The impacted models include the ThinkPad T60 battery, R61 battery, R60 battery, T61 battery , X60 battery, and X61 battery, span a range of part numbers; Lenovo has posted a lenovo battery diagnostic tool to help users determine if their battery is affected. Lenovo is offering replacement batteries for free.

Unlike several other notebook computer battery recalls over the years, this Lenovo battery replacement program isn’t about batteries overheating or posing a burn or fire dangers to users or property. Instead, the batteries report (via the Power Manager or Message Center) that they cannot be charger or have irreparable damage, or they exhibit inordinately low battery capacities.

To use the battery diagnostic tool, users must have the battery installed in the computer and have an active Internet connection.
