Needed confirmation if a battery is 'legitimate' or not

Hi friends

I just bought second hand a battery of 6 regular cells for my Thinkpad R50e, replacing those originally supplied with the laptop (he is now dead/charges to 100% within a few seconds). The new stack looks a bit like a replica, but after looking on several Internet sites that sell spare batteries I have is that they are very similar to one I bought (missing IBM logo, only marking placement "THIS" different and warnings/certifications). Are they supposed to look like that? Or are all supposed to have the IBM logo + all brands of certificate, etc. ?

Another thing I think is suspicious of this battery is written RUF on the label do not match that shown in the stack information in Windows XP. The FRU on the lable is; 08K 8195, 08K 8194, 08K 8192, 08K 8193, while RUF shown in Windows is 02K 7028 (a 2.2Ah battery for T22?). Aren't they supposed to match?

What is the total capacity that is supposed to be for such a battery (R50e)? Anything close to 45Wh?

Edit; The battery is shown as new (even wrote 'new' on the label with a felttip pen, eh...) and according to the battery, it took 3 cycles since June 2008 (date of first-time-used and production).

Sold second hand? For batteries of this age, a 3 OEM batteries charge cycles are difficult to find.

But replica with Lenovo/IBM accurate stickers are easily imitated, just go to some online stores, for an overview.

As far as I know, all batteries should have a bar code with a unique serial number.

Sanyo, Sony and Panasonic are the provider for the battery cells, I do not think that they assemble the batteries in and of itself, I may be wrong, but as far as I know this is how it works.

  • I need to replace the battery and AC adapter of the Satellite Pro U400-160

    I have a Satellite Pro U400-160.

    I need to replace the battery and the charger of my Toshiba, but I am wary about compatibility issues.

    Any battery for Satellite Pro U400 is suitable for mine?
    As I can't find which batteries are specifically suitable for my computer.

    (For example: is this a: http://www.amazon.es/Bater%C3%ADa-Toshiba-Satellite-U400-11V-7800mAh/dp/B0051A9Y88/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1366885340&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=satellite+pro+u400?)

    Is there a quick way to check if a battery / charger are compatible?

    Each battery and adapter you get from Toshiba has specific part number. All you have to do is use this same part number and order. You should be able to find on the internet.
    You can also get compatible parts you are ordering by the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.

    By the way: all U400 models have the same construction and the similar specifications then all the batteries specified for U400 can be used on your U400-160.

  • You will need to connect the battery, but lapptop now sign showing that the battery is not connected, so does not load.

    You will need to connect the battery. until recently, all ok.  never use the laptop as a mobile, always on the wireless, but lapptop shows now sign that the battery is not connected so does not load.

    I have a laptop which, so far, is always connected wireless when it is in use. I want to take a vacation, and notice a signal arrives that the battery is not connected and therefore does not load.  This has happened recently, although the battery never showed a 100% charge. can someone tell me how to connect the battery please.

    Check that the battery is correctly installed. If it is then the problem is that the battery is exhausted, so you should buy a new battery.

  • I have copy of old tbird and seamonkey e-mail files with the files and emails for each. I need to add to new tbird install. can not find a way to do it. Help

    I have copy of old tbird and seamonkey e-mail files with the files and emails for each. I need to add to new tbird install. can not find a way to do it. HELP PLEASE. previous e-mail files are under mail then mail.earthlink* .net and each of the five mail .net is an email address I have. I can't find a way to identify each file by email to the specific email address (IE mail.my E-mail name.net) so I can copy the files and emails from the past to the email addresses now under tbird. previous installed e-mail identities may not be the current configuration of e-mail files in tbird. I think that I must be sure that mail.name.net matches the previous mail.name.net to be able to copy and paste the old to the new. is there a way to find the file name correct the old email and correspond to the new? all my emails very important information are mostly in the old mail electronic id and must be available in the identification of email again (but same) how can I do this?

  • EliteBook 6930p: battery Elitebook 6930 2 not available

    Hello

    I recently had a 6930p Elitebook which was once used as a computer professional, and I photographed it with a copy of Windows 7, I confess, and then upgraded to Windows 10. I noticed that when I click on the battery down to the left, it is said there are two batteries. Battery 1 seems to work fine, but 2 battery says it is not available for use. Is there something I can do to make the second battery work? I would like to improve the battery 1 battery lasts approximately 2 hours. Thank you.

    That would be a trip or the 2nd battery battery.

  • Envy DV7 HP: HP DV7 Envy your PC need to be repaired a required device is not connected

    I have 10 Windows on my HP DV7 envy.  When I turn it on I get the error "Your PC need to be repaired a necessary device is not connected."

    None of the keys work, which means I can't select startup options or select System Restore.  It just brings back me to the blue screen with the error message. So I can not try all options, I found on the internet that are made not boot master book or disable secure boot record.

    I ran the tests of memory and fast disk, as someone else suggested that memory may be bad.

    (HP please don't answer back Windows 10 is not supported.)  Microsoft has given to all customers of Windows 8. Besides it is not at all compared to the question, since the system cannot not even load the operating system.)

    I fixed that basically like this:

    1. safe mode in the bios
    2. change the boot order to put USB in the front
    3. Install Ubuntu from USB, so erase Windows

    I got stuck because I had copied the Ubuntu ISO was not a complete file.

    No doubt I could able recover if I asked HP ship me a replacement disc for Windows 8.1

    Also, I learned that you press f8, f9, f10 or f11 when you turn on the computer.  You must wait until the screen goes to sleep again and repower the computer to switch to another option.  Now key people will work until you do this.
