Check to make sure that this is the battery your computer requires (IBM provides all the necessary information on their website) and it will work just fine. Shipping was timely and well packaged in my case.

this item is the third after-market battery I've bought for my laptop. The first was $90 on eBay and died less than 45 days after I received it. I took a chance with this one and after around three months it's so far so good. It still works as well as the OEM battery
