I have on old IBM Thinkpad laptop with missing battery.  So, I decided to design my own DIY battery for it.

I didn't have an original battery so all the information I gather from the Internet and measuring the place for the battery in the laptop. 

I found a pinout digram in the service manual:

From this information we can see that this battery is not a smart-battery. It does not communicate with the laptop. In addition to + and - it has a thermistor connection. 

To build this battery the following items are needed:

  • 18650 li-ion cells, 6pcs

  • 3S 10A BMS board

  • PCB straight female pin header connector

  • 10K NTC thermistor

  • some wires

The battery has 3s2p configuration. To connect the cells I used a spot welder and a nickel strip, but soldering with caution is also an option.

For connection terminals I used the metallic pieces of a regular pin header. I just pulled out of its plastic part and placed in the 3d printed case. See the included video for details.

I printed mine with ABS plastic. Some other plastics might require dimensions tweaking.  

This DIY battery pack works without issues with the laptop.
