bought a new battery for tabby, our X61t ThinkPad
at first was worried it was bad because the battery light was flashing and then flickering, and the OS reported charging but no actual charge estimate and voltage was around 10V, but a few hours plugged and turned off seems to have brought it up to 100% (i'd have expected longer but got impatient)
doing a tlp recalibrate now and i'll believe "3 hours remaining" when i see it but if the readings are accurate, the trend so far looks good!
it dropped to just under 2 hours suddenly, and now back to 2 and a half hours... yea this definitely needs recalibrated
well that's roughly 3 hours, i'm impressed!
tlp reports an issue on the X61t because i think battery protection kicks in before it reaches proper 0% but it's still a full run anyway
and this one has the proper shape for an X61t extended battery, meaning tabby will no longer wobble uneven on a desk! 🎉
