Fortunately most ThinkPads of this era had removable batteries, so this isn't as big of a deal as it would be for most laptops today. I'm currently using an X230 that I bought off eBay as my main personal laptop; it needed a new battery when I got it, but otherwise works great.

I'm using a x230 as well, where'd you purchase your battery? mine's nearly done I feel.

I find it pretty difficult to buy a reliable laptop battery unless I can get it from the mfg.

eBay, honestly. Got an unopened Lenovo-branded one.
