Battery is dead – otherwise fully functional.

Rebuild the battery with new Li-Ion cells... You can do it, we believe in you!
- I could, true, and I certainly would if I would use it as a daily driver, but it's a bit too old for that
How old is that thing?
- About 2009 if I remember right. I have one. Love the form factor.
  
  They were produced in 2006-07 (according to Think wiki)
- X60 from Lenovo was released around 2006
Heh. Lenovo. Peasant.

I’ve got an old IBM T60p. One of the last ones they made before they sold, iirc.
- wait, seriously?
  
  I thought the t43 was the last one they made, and the ones with ibm badges were still made by Lenovo
  
  I can’t claim that it’s the absolute last model IBM actually built, but it’s definitely one of the last iirc
  
  Battery is entirely discharged, and haven’t tried to turn it on in years, but it worked the last time I did.
  
  I loved my t43. Best laptop ever
  
  Lenovo co designed the 40 series with IBM, and during the 60 series they finally switched branding over to Lenovo.
  
  If you want pre Lenovo Thinkpad you need to go even older than the 40 series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquisition_of_the_IBM_PC_business_by_Lenovo
