My son bought a repalcement Thinkpad battery, and it looks like it is a genuine replacement - I can't see any major differences from the original, just one label in a different place. I don't know where he got it, likely a shop in Guildford. But, the new one like the old one, says it has only 33-34% capacity. This is not a battery thing I think, but BIOS or thinkpad low level firmware keeping a setting despite all efforts to reset and remeasure. It was originally XP, but is now Ubuntu.
