Searching for a Battery for Thinkpad 701c Butterfly

(1/2) > >>

Sigurd Fastenrath:
Hi,

the end of last year I was able to buy an old (and famous) Thinkpad 701c with the Butterfly keyboard - a really great piece of hardware!

It was not working, but after some work (deassembling and so on,changing CMOS Battery etc.) I was able to get it to run again  :)

I installed OS/2 Warp 3 connect with Win-OS2 on it and it works like a charm!

But since then I am looking worldwide for the Akku/Battery that was not included. There are some stores around Europe and in the US wich offer it on ther webshops - but if you ask them or try to get one - allways the same answer - out of stock.

So is there someone around having such a thing, even if it is not working anymore or does know someone or someplace where to buy it? Even if the Akku does not charge anymore - that would not matter, because the electronic inside is very important an I do know how to replace the cells.

Thank you in Advance!

I don't know where you could get a battery, but you might find http://www.conradshome.com/thinkpad/701/battery/ to be interesting.

It may be a good idea to post the battery part number. It may be used in other machines.

Hi Sigurd

Is this battery not correct? http://www.akku-mann.com/ibm-thinkpad-701-701c-701c-701cx-intelligent-laptop-akku-p-363.html?language=en

I seem to have got a few hits using this google search  Akku Battery for Thinkpad 701c


Regards

Pete

Sigurd Fastenrath:
Thanks for the hints,

this battery type only works in the 701c (or cs), unfortunately. It is true that there are so many hints at google, but as I stated before:

- most of them do not have it anymore in stock (but do not mention this on their homepage)
- most are way to expensive
- some refuse to work with paypal (mostly those having no impressum....)

So I thought may be someone does have this or does definitly know who this mght deliver.

Thanks again!!

Attached two pictures, one totally disassembled (for CMOS Battery replacement) , one working with Warp 3 Connect with WinOS2
