Anyone lurking here have issues with Lenovo Laptop batteries?

I'm using a Thinkpad X40. I've had it for 6, maybe 7 years now, cannot
remember exactly. I'm on my 2nd battery. First battery finally got to
the point where I had about 45 minutes run time. Got a new one on
Amazon. No major problems with either of them.
My Mac Book Pro battery, that's a horse of a different color...
My X61s is odd... very little battery use, keep it off charger pretty
much to avoid that killer-mode, yet original battery died just after
warranty ran out, second battery died abruptly at 2 years.

My use is similar. In a docking station for weeks between customer
visits.
Same here.
When I go on the road I will usually make sure and run the
battery down before I plug in the charger.
Likewise.
Maybe it's just a LiIon thing ?:-(
My setup is a docking
station under a monitor stand so I run the X40 with the lid closed
most of the time. Noticed it was running rather warm, almost hot.
I put a small fan to move some of the heat out.
Now I did have a Dell laptop that I was running on a charger without
a UPS. The battery died after a nasty thunder storm. Dont know if
the battery just hit it's life end or the lightening had something
to do with it. I now run any laptop on a UPS.
I've been considering a UPS for the laptop as well.
I already have a UPS on the phone system :-)
