Battery is here and looks good. I can't see a manufacture date on it, but i got 95 minutes going from 100% to 58%, then it went to 7% in just a few minutes. Not sure what that means. About 2 1/2 hours to recharge which was about what the original batter took. It is just a smidge larger as i had to fiddle with it to sit properly in the battery frame.
