Seems ok is about right. I bought a couple batteries from them and it seemed that
one worked well, and the other was "ok". Maybe I didn't cycle it right, but I remember
contacting them about it and I got a "dead line". I think it was for one of the clunker 
Thinkpad T60s I bought off ebay. I usually use them on charger.

The batteries from https://www.batteriesplus.com worked well. You can
use the coupon code CDP10011 on their website to order online and pick
up at the store. Looks like they have it for 95 bucks and a 9 dollar
discount! The charger they had was "so" "so". I assume you have a charger.
