No mention of the number of cycles just the charge capacity.
£20 is the price mentioned similar to a clone batterys price.

Hello,
Years ago I bought several used Thinkpad 600
batteries at a fleamarket that worked good and I
bought a Thinkpad 380 battery at another
fleamarket that was bad. They have to be really
cheap for me to consider giving them a shot.
It also depends on how they were treated and the
number of charge cycles as to how long a used battery will last.

I would not get them. You simply can't know what the real health of a
battery is by looking at the charge rate. If I had a choice between used
real IBM batteries and a new clone battery, I'd take the clone.
Of course, it's a roulette game. I know someone who saw some batteries
for his X6x laptop, and got three used ones for $40 and they all worked!
But I've bought things like that where it would have been more entertaining
to stand in the flea market burning $20 bills...
