Lenovo sells a 9-cell slice battery for their T and W series laptops. I haven't seen many pictures of it online so I figure I share it here. The battery is called the Slice 27 ++. There are other versions for the X220/X230 and older model Thinkpads. It uses the docking port connectors and is a great investment for those who want extended portable power.
On a Thinkpad T420 with the standard 6 cell, the slice gives me a total run time of about 14-15 hours under Ubuntu 12.04. This is with moderate power management.
Since it uses the same dock connectors, you can't use simultaneously with a docking station. You will have to unplug it in order to re-dock with a docking station.
The battery is very hefty and lifts the laptop up quite into a more ergonomic position. I can't really complain about the weight because it gives me an all day power.
Here are some pictures to help those considering this battery.
Do you know if this is compatible with the t410s (not t410) ?
