    Just bought a new one (Genuine Dell) and im only getting 3 and 1/2 hours on a full charge.

    Does that sound right?

    APOLOGIES-

    Sctatch the above...the battery meter just updated itself to 5 and 1/2 hours, which sounds much more realistic

    Also, which GPU do you have? 6 hours is around the best you can squeeze out of a 6 cell battery if you have Intel graphics and 20-25% less with the Nvidia GPU. Also,the newer batteries for the E6410 are compatible and have a bit more capacity.

    I have 10 hours and half with my 9-cell with the Nvidia GPU :D
    It is to be noted that my old 9-cell battery was 85Whr, and the new one is 90Whr. I think what happened, is that Dell was out of E6400 batteries, and gave me the E6410 battery instead.
