    With the E1405 whatever your doing pretty much gurantees a minimum of 3 hours battery life. Browsing the web l get about 4 hours of battery life.

    3:30 - 4:30 on my 6-cell
    5:30-7 on my 9-cell

    This really depends on what you're doing with the machine. I use it sometimes just to listen to music and on the 6-cell I could probably get 6 hours. I agree with Unreal though, with the 6-cell, no matter what you're doing, you'll get around 3 hours minimum.

    I watched 2, 1hr 1/2 movies and I had about 30% battery life left. This is with the 9 cell battery.
