I don't have a 701, but this is probably a case of the IBM Part # vs. the FRU # for the battery. IBM assigns both a part # and an FRU # to every stinking item they have. I don't know the logistics of why they do this, but on many parts they are consecutively numbered. For example, when I was looking for a 16MB DRAM card for my 755CD, the IBM web site said that the correct IBM card was 66G0094. The card that I found was part # 66G0093, but FRU# 66G0094. Both numbers were on the card. IBM only seems to care about the FRU #. I called tech support to very that my DRAM card was correct, and the tech explained to me that they usually refer to the FRU # for most everything. My guess is that your battery is part # 25H4861 and FRU # 25H4862. Check the label, or package, carefully and see if you can find both.
