quite a few brands (other than IBM) that sell replacements, and some are rated at higher (ie. 3300-3500 MAh)
power output than others. I was wondering if anyone had any comments or experience with the different
brands out there, such as BTi and Xtend, etc.

I have two BTi brand (as well as an IBM and some other brand) batteries. No problem with one of them. The
second one I had to send back because it wouldn't fit. It looked the same as the first. It was the same model
and everything but it's was just a tad too tall. All except the IBM one has to be pressed down a bit. The IBM
one just falls in and nothing else. ALmost as if the other 3 batteries are about a 1/16" off in construction size.

My $0.02

P.S. I have a 365XD. One step up.
