Does anyone else have a Lenovo G560? If so how did this battery work on your laptop? I see some mixed reviews. My stock battery only lasts ~15 mins

After over night charging my Lenovo G560 battery it reached up to 80% I unplugged the power cord from the wall and the battery dropped to 25% (1 hour/45 mins) later the battery died out and recharge it again - same result, amazing! cheap price battery for cheap results if any... I couldn't be bothered returning the item back to the seller... The seller and i do have something common though, I loath the seller, and the seller couldn't careless about his/her customers provided he/she is making money!

I got this for G470. Although G560 is very similar, it may not be the right for your laptop. You can go Lenovo site and search for your model part numbers and then shop for charger using that part number. In my case, i was looking for 57Y6400 and yours might be very similar number.

I tried 3 larger batteries of different types, but only this one from Amazon worked with my Toshiba. Mine works very good with about twice the battery life compared to the original battery, but the computer does not sit flat anymore though. I ususally don't power off my laptop, just close it when Im done. The power charge lasts about a month or so, but I use the laptop infrequently.Did you:1. Make sure the battery is inserted fully and correctly?2. Charge overnight.3. Are your power cords working okay?4. Are your electric outlets okay?5. If you disconnect the power cord, does your computer stay on by battery power alone?Good luck with the batteries.

I ordered the battery and it worked just fine. However my laptop just needed a power source at all times. In other words it always has to be plugged in when using it. I hope that helps

I am sorry. I think it had a return policy if it did not work. Warranty as such -- ?? I can tell you that it has functioned for me maybe two months and is still doing very well. My only difficulty with it seems to be if I let it go much below 50% in charge it dies pretty rapidly. Overall it appears okay. I use it in an old (2008) laptop which itself has some issues so perhaps I am not the best judge of the battery's quality.

I am wondering the same....I have a Z560 Ideapad as well. Hopefully someone can confirm because my current battery is a goner.

This battery is used in an R61i and I have never checked to see how long a charge will last. I only use this laptop for a hour or two at a time and maybe less than once a week but I am pleased with its performance and you can't beat the price. I even thought about buying a second one as a back-up.

I am using mine for a Lenovo Z560. Not sure if they use the same battery. Works just as good as the one that came with the laptop originally.

Ha...I guess the one down side...I get about two hours on max performance. I have been thinking about getting a better battery for the laptop (4 hour type or more). However, I need to add my purchase was more for a portable desktop than a mobile computer (tablet, etc...) so it stays plugged in about 85% of the time.

Hello Linda. I bought this battery just last year when the original died of natural causes. At most, this sucker last me about an hour to an hour and a half after it's been fully charged. Might not seem like much mind you, but I tend to use the internet a lot and stream things online, and different pages up at once. The less you use, the longer it'll last bit I was reall happy when I got it. And instalation is pretty simple. Let me know if this does/doesn't solve your riddle. I will try again for you. Please have a good evening.

I'm having the same experience as @JustMe. I bought this as replacement for my Toshiba, and initial it seemed to be just fine. But after using the battery for a while it does not hold a charge very well. I charge the battery to it's fullest, but it seems to drain very quickly. Like JustMe said, I almost always have to have the laptop plugged into AC in order to use it for more than 5 minutes. I'd suggest looking for a better replacement battery that will actually hold a charge for more than a few minutes.

I've been using my new battery for about a month now, and I'm delighted with its performance. My HP G62 laptop's charger has the same specs as yours, and has worked just fine. After a four hour session unplugged, the new battery still shows 25% left. My old OEM battery (3years old) would barely make it past 2 hours unplugged. When I plug in to recharge the NEW battery, the "brick" on the charger is working hard and therefore gets quite warm. But that's to be expected since it got almost as warm when recharging the lower capacity OEM battery. Overall I'm delighted with my new battery and its extended working time. To me, it has been well worth the extra few bucks I paid over just buying an OEM equivalent battery. I strongly recommend this higher capacity battery, and believe it will work just fine with OEM chargers.

It depends on the computer you're using it with, your screen brightness, whether or not you're on the internet, watching videos, have the volume turned up, etc. I get about 2 hours average, which is about 40% of the 5 hours I got on the Lenovo brand battery that came with my laptop.

This is a battery that fits on any G series Lenovo. It is an OK battery for the price, keep that in mind.

I bought it 6 months ago and the battery doesn't hold it's charge more than one hour. In the Linux panel I can see 3 hours of battery in the first time I turn on the notebook, but, as the time is going, these 3 hours showed in the panel is becoming minutes in just 1 real hour.

Hello, I just plugged the computer in with the new battery and let it charge for at least 24 hours. It works fine!
