IBM ThinkPad 390 Series - 02K6513 Laptop Battery

When your IBM laptop battery stops performing well, it is about time for a new battery. There are plenty of ways to get a replacement, but buying one from IBM can cost an arm and a leg, so using a third party vendor makes more sense (to me at least). When people ask me where to go for a IBM ThinkPad 390 Series - 02K6513 Replacement Notebook Battery, there are two things I tell them: Batteries.com or Craigslist. Batteries.com has IBM 02K6513 batteries for only $79.99 - much more affordable then buying directly from IBM. When you search for IBM 02K6513 batteries on Craigslist, make sure you are getting an OEM battery so that you can be sure not to void your manufacturer warrantee. Generally, you can expect to pay a bit less on Craigslist for a laptop battery, but remember to triple check that the new battery will work with your notebook, and you can never be sure of the condition of the battery.

All in all, getting a laptop battery shouldn’t be a huge hassle, and it shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. Unfortunately IBM had decided to be money hungry (like noone saw that coming). You can shop confidently at Batteries.com - they have most of their items in stock, and ship quickly (one or two days has been my experience).

Buy your battery at Batteries.com, it even comes with a 2 Year Free Replacement warrantee!! Or shop for a deal on Craigslist (prices can be even lower, but watch out for high shipping charges, and phishing scams).
