    Hey fellow 6920G users, I was just wondering how your battery life has been thus far. I think I've been pretty lucky. It's been about 2 years now and I use the battery with somewhat regularity (drain the battery from 100% to 10-20% around twice a week). I have the larger 71WHr battery and with my tweaking, I've managed (according to RMClock) to consume as low as 14W. It can fluctuate a couple of W depending on my tasks, but I generally have it on lowest brightness (I can still see things, even though where I am is pretty bright, though in labs when I have to give oral presentations, I turn the brightness to 100%) with WiFi on and sometimes off - which gets me at least 4 hours (if I drained it fully, most likely north of 4.5 hours).

    After upgrading the CPU, hard drive, and operating system (at various points), I can squeeze 3 hours with Wi-Fi on and on Power Saving.
    HWMonitor says my battery wear's around 22%.
