Some time ago I got a second hand IBM Thinkpad X31 which a few days ago, its bios battery gave up the ghost, so I had to search for a replacement.
Ebay was helpful enough to provide a few different options, all of which were a bit more expensive than I thought a bios battery would cost. So I took a gamble.
Instead of buying an "IBM bios Battery" I looked for and found cheaper bios batteries suitable for Dell machines.
And OMG! it fits and works in the IBM X31!!!
It would have been even cheaper had I time and tools to make a replacement using the cables and the connector from the original battery and using a 2032 button cell, available everywhere
