It covers OEM part numbers FRU 02K6606, 02K6687, 02K6924, FRU 02K6691, 02K6580, 02K6607, 02K6763, FRU 02K6608, FRU 02K6690, 02K6923, and 02K6762. Physical dimensions are 108.50 × 65.70 × 12.80mm — verify against the original before installing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThinkPad 240 platform compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The 240, 240x, and 240z share the same battery bay geometry, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol. One cell fits all three variants without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on a ThinkPad 240z. The BMS negotiated correctly with the system board, and the protection circuit tripped at the expected low-voltage cutoff without requiring a manual reset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThinkPad 240z post-swap learn cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing, run one full discharge to hibernate cutoff then charge uninterrupted to 100%. This resets the BIOS battery learn cycle and clears the inaccurate health warning that appears after every cell swap on this platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBIOS reporting battery health as poor immediately after replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe ThinkPad 240 BIOS reads EEPROM data written by the original factory cell. When a new cell arrives, that EEPROM data doesn't match the new cell's charge history, so the BIOS flags health as poor or unknown. This is not a fault with the replacement cell. Run two full discharge-to-hibernate and charge-to-100% cycles. After the second cycle, the BIOS recalibrates against the new cell and the warning clears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eLaptop shutting down at 20–30% charge shown on the gauge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens when the fuel gauge IC hasn't calibrated against the new cell's actual voltage curve yet. The gauge shows 25% while the cell voltage has already dropped below the BMS cutoff threshold under CPU and display load — the system shuts down to protect the cell. It's not a faulty battery. Complete two uninterrupted full discharge-to-hibernate cycles followed by full charges, and the fuel gauge IC recalculates its reference points. After calibration, shutdown should not occur above 5–7% remaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43410884198490,"sku":"BWCS-IB240XL-1","price":70.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43410884231258,"sku":"BWCS-IB240XL-2","price":83.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43410884264026,"sku":"BWCS-IB240XL-3","price":92.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-IB240XL-big.webp?v=1779581571","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/ibm-thinkpad-240z-replacement-battery-111v-3400mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
