The 9 cell lenovo thinkpad t60 battery. Add a little weight on the standard 6-cell and takes, but if you need to live for approximately four hours of battery life with the Model 15 "screen size. With the T60, without Wi-Fi and the average brightness (third notch 7) drop what I 3 hours and 42 minutes of battery life with light (for writing, or stop). You can expect to find more than three hours with Wi -Fi and finishing a DVD with a 9-cell battery should not be a problem as well, except for The Lord of the Rings.


The screen size T60 14 "is much better compared with the period of battery life per cell because a smaller screen just drains less battery. I think the 6-cell battery for T60 14 "you get what the 9 - to 15 battery" - again, just an uneducated guess.
