1280365 2012-06-07 08:35:00 What is generally considered one of the longest battery life?

I have a extended battery for mine and it last up to 4hr but that is often not enough . At times it may be difficult to find a AC point not taken . It's for normal work - ie . , wordprocessing . Do anyone carry a spare battery instead?



Thanks .

1280367 2012-06-07 09:20:00 I did that but can be difficult to find a AC point at a desk that's not taken. Came back home earlier as a result b/c of that. Nomad (952)
1280368 2012-06-07 09:21:00 How many cells does your battery have? stratex5 (16685)
1280369 2012-06-07 09:26:00 8 cell, it is a ultraportable laptop. Nomad (952)

1280371 2012-06-07 10:01:00 Then couldnt you get an extended battery which sort of raises the laptop too? stratex5 (16685)
1280372 2012-06-07 10:06:00 There is this:

But the specs says up to 2.5hr which might be under most ideal conditions. Might just be easier to grab another 8 cell battery. The battery base makes the thing larger as well, I went for a ultraportable for some reason ..
