    I have a Dell Vostro 1220 with the following hardware specs: Windows 7 ultimate edition 32 bit, Encrypted hard drive, Processor: T9550 2.66 ghz, 4 gb ram and a 4 cell battery = 32 watt hour.
    I'm getting about 1 hour 30 minutes out of the battery. I conducted some tests and ran streaming netflix video (via wifi) and with all the timers off the machine ran for 1 hour 17 minutes until it hibernated. I then conducted another test looping a video file (the sample windows 7 video file) with all radios turned off. It ran for 1 hour 35 minutes.
    What kind of times are you getting out of your 4 cell battery. If someone could conduct a similar test I would be really grateful. Thanks in advance to the community.
    Regards Jim
