Quick follow-up with yet another option for the battery-lorn: It is possible to rebuild the existing battery pack, keeping the circuitry intact and just replacing the cells. Some links: http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/28/how-to-rebuild-your-laptop-battery/ http://www.electronics-lab.com/articles/Li_Ion_reconstruct/ http://www.batteryrebuild.com/ While I'm not 100% sure that this will avoid the nasty "illegal" battery warnings from the Lenovo battery utility, I believe it should. Jon, you mihgt want to give this a go on your dead unit, just to see if it's worthwhile (I may do so on one of mine).
