Battery Failure on My ThinkPad T61p

Yep… Can you believe that?
The battery is manufactured by SONY, and we all know how well SONY batteries work (yeah, right), and the Power Manager says “Your battery can store 49% of its original full charge capacity”. Regardless the 49%, if I remove the power cord, the computer dies within a few minutes. The battery was first used on 2007-10 (Power Manager displays this, and I can confirm that I’ve received it in October last year). The battery has one-year warranty, so Lenovo should replace it.
We’ll see how that turns out; I’ll give Lenovo Romania a mail, and a call tomorrow.
Unfortunately, I’m in Slovenia, but still, when I’ll return in Romania on September 22, it would still be in warranty…
