this battery does indeed give you 3 hours of battery life, and works great. with wireless on and my screen dimmed my laptop has about 3.5 hours of batter life.
The battery works okay so far (2 months). However battery life is only ~2.5h and then needs to be recharged - was hoping it would last longer than that.
The delivery was prompt and the item was as promised. It's been about a month since I bought it and till now, I have no complaints. To give an estimate of the battery life, I use Ubuntu on my Thinkpad R32 and if I use the browser with a slightly dimmed display, I get around 3.5 hours of battery life.
The fit in my IBM R32 Thinkpad was a little tight and took a little force to get it in while the old batter would go in easily. The new battery will last about two hours while the old batter would last about 40 minutes. The price was really good, too.
