Replacing the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 battery

powercfg /batteryreportand compare full-charge capacity with design capacity, or use our battery health analyzer. - • Replace when full-charge capacity is near 60-70% of design (about 56 Wh on a 86 Wh pack) or the laptop shuts down early.
- • A swollen battery is a fire risk: stop charging it and bring it in. Do not press the case back down.
- • Buy the same capacity and part number as the old pack. A bigger factory option (86 Wh) only fits if the model was sold with it and the bay has room.

Lenovo's spec page lists 52.5 Wh or 86 Wh for the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 (internal 52.5 or 86 Wh). The capacity of yours is printed on the battery label and shown as "design capacity" in a Windows battery report.
How many hours does the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 battery last?
Estimated for a new 86 Wh pack at about 60% brightness: 9 h 5 min of browsing or office work, 6 h 15 min of video calls and 2 h 35 min of gaming. With the 52.5 Wh option, office work drops to about 5 h 35 min. These are estimates from typical power draw, not measurements.

Replace it when the full-charge capacity falls to about 60-70% of the design capacity (around 56 Wh on a 86 Wh pack), when the laptop shuts down at 20-40%, or straight away if the battery swells and lifts the keyboard or bottom cover. Run powercfg /batteryreport in Windows to see both numbers.
