- ThinkPad X220
- ThinkPad T420
- ThinkPad T430
- ThinkPad T520
- ThinkPad T530

Match the OEM part number on the sticker of your current battery before ordering. If your old battery part number isn't on this list but the laptop is, message us — there are often three or four interchangeable part numbers per chassis.
Battery health — what we test before shipping
Every battery on our shelf goes through a 5-point test before listing:
- Capacity — we measure actual usable Wh and only ship packs at 95%+ of rated capacity.
- Cycle count — read from the embedded BMS chip; we don't sell anything over 100 cycles.
- Cell balance — all 9-cell internal cells within 50mV of each other.
- Charge/discharge cycle — verified full cycle without thermal anomaly.
- Visual — no swelling, no bulging, no scorched contacts.
Installation — how to swap the battery
Internal 9-cell batteries on modern Lenovo laptops require opening the back panel (8-12 Phillips screws, sometimes Torx T5). Disconnect the AC adapter, unscrew the panel, locate the battery connector on the board, gently lift the ribbon connector latch, unscrew the battery hold-down screws, lift out the old pack, and reverse the steps with the new one. Total time: 10-15 minutes.
Free installation in shop
If you're in Lahore, bring the laptop to Hafeez Center — installation is free with battery purchase. We'll also calibrate the new pack (full charge → full discharge → full charge) so Windows / macOS reads the correct capacity from day one.
Real-world battery life — what to expect
With this 94Wh pack and balanced Windows / macOS settings (70% brightness, Wi-Fi on, mixed use), expect:
- Web + Office work: 5-7 hours
- Video playback: 6-8 hours
- Code compilation / Photoshop: 2-3 hours
- Gaming or heavy GPU load: 60-90 minutes
These figures match Apple / Dell / HP / Lenovo published specs for the listed models. If your old battery was giving you 2 hours, the new one will restore the original full runtime.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a genuine OEM battery or aftermarket?
Our stock comes in both genuine Lenovo pulls (tested cells, original casing, often the higher price) and high-grade A-class compatible cells (tested for capacity at 95%+ of rated Wh). Tell us which you want on WhatsApp 0314 4000131 — both carry the same 15-day check warranty.
Do I need to take the laptop apart to install the 9-cell battery?
Internal batteries need the back panel removed — typically 8-12 Phillips screws, then disconnect the old battery cable, swap, and reseat. We do free in-shop installation in Lahore if you bring the laptop. Removable 6-cell / 9-cell batteries on older laptops just slide in/out with a latch — no tools needed.
How much battery backup will I get on my ThinkPad X220?
With this 94Wh pack at default Windows balanced settings, expect 5-7 hours of mixed-use battery life (web, Office, video). Brightness at 70%, Wi-Fi on, no heavy GPU workload. Gaming or compiling drains in 90-120 minutes — that's normal for any laptop battery this size.
Will the laptop recognise this battery in Windows / macOS?
Yes — every battery we sell is BMS-flashed with the correct cell-pack ID for the laptop, so Windows / Lenovo Vantage / Dell Power Manager / macOS Battery Health show full information including cycle count and design capacity. No 'plugged in, not charging' driver errors.
