Support and repair guides for the Lenovo ThinkPad T480. Released in January 2018.

Screw dimensions for attaching internal battery.

I have bought a refurbished t480 thinkpad which came with only an external battery, no internal one installed.

I want to install an internal battery, but I don't have any screws.

This guide [ Lenovo ThinkPad T480 Internal Battery Replacement ] mentions "the two 4.6 mm screws securing the internal battery to the frame".

I'm assuming 4.6 mm is the length, can anyone help me with pitch or gauge? Or are they M# something or another style where all that is standardised?
Or any idea where I could look for a part number?

Thanks, any hints greatly appreciated!

@dru46798 looks like those are M2 x 3mm screws.
