richcornucopia Posted March 7, 2006 CID Share Posted March 7, 2006 Depends, do you have a model number? The specs for the battery should say how long it would last, but thats under ideal conditions.

Swimmer Posted March 7, 2006 CID Share Posted March 7, 2006 Most of the centrino laptops get about 4-5 hours on their standard batteries. So if that is the standard battery that is what you can expect. The 8-cell is giving me about 5 and a half hours of life with consistent use (installing software from a CD, emulating a DVD drive and installing more software, and copying gigs of applications and media from an external hard drive concurrently). the rest of the "review" http://kyle.pflug.com/2006/01/31/new-kid-on-the-block/ Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/11820-8-cell-lithium-ion-battery-question/#findComment-124378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
