Lenovo on Friday said it will replace batteries on several of its ThinkPad laptops that show error messages.

Some users are reporting batteries are displaying error messages that read “Irreparable damage” or “Battery cannot be charged,” and others are reporting their battery runs only for a very short time or experiences a sudden drop in its fuel gauge. It’s known to occur on these ThinkPad models: T60, T61, R60, R61, X60, and X61.

This has happened to two of the three X60′s I have for the blog, they just suddenly came up saying “Irreparable damage” and wouldn’t charge, it’s most frustrating when I originally spoke to a support guy, he suggested buying a new battery for £150, maybe not, I shall try giving them a call again. The battery error is making me move towards the two Dell laptops I have (also for the blog), they’re the same age as the X60′s, have fully working batteries, and the Dell batteries seem to be that little bit easier to get hold off.
