Genuine T40-series batteries show up at the Lenovo outlet every so often for under $50.

However, if you are in a hurry you could look at the batteries at dealextreme. We had good luck with a T23 battery from them, and SKU 27785 seems to be from the same manufacturer.

Subject: [Thinkpad] Looking to tips on a replacement battery for a T43...

I went looking on ebay for a good standard battery for My T43.  I've
purchased before and been disappointed. I was wondering if a secret existed
for knowing what to look for in the ad.  Perhaps wording that someone
selling a genuine battery would place in the ad to attract people.  I was
hoping to get 2-3 hours on the charge if I bought new and maybe 1:30 from a
working pull.  Is this a realistic expectation from a battery.

I just don't want to buy a battery that holds a 3 hour charge for a month
and then suddenly won't run the machine more than 30 minutes.

I've discovered the key to success is to never give up.  You either learn
the right way, or you run out of ways to do it wrong. A win/win situation!
