    To all the F3SV owners out there i thought we could share what kind of battery life we are getting.

    What system power settings do u use and what OS are u running to maximize battery performance.

    Currently i am only getting about 1hr 45mins running winxp.
    I have not as yet settled on a power management program.
    This is under just general use, browsing, ect.

    But i would really like to be getting more.

    I have heard that about 2hrs is average on the 6 cell battery

    If you are runing the 9 cell what kind of life r u getting??

    Im getting about 110 min running xp, wireless on, second to lowest screen brightness only using portable/laptop setting in power management.

    I would like to get juice from the battery, but I think this is pretty good for a 6 cell, since 9 cell battery from asus has yet to surface..

    you can get 9 cell batterys for the FSSV.
    It is about $200AUD
    If you are not in Australia i am sure that will ship overseas.
