    I guess this is the right place to post :)
    Anyways,
    Im after a new battery for my laptop (in sig) and im just wondering if its worth getting the 9-Cell or just get the 6-Cell. I'll only be using it a couple lessons a day with are about 60 minutes each.

    What should I do?

    Cheers.

    The D620 doesn't have a single 12-cell option, but you can get a drive bay battery and up to 15 cells total.

    If you get the single 9-cell, it's going to stick out the front. They call it their "wrist" rest. It will make the laptop heavier and will increase the length dimension. If you don't mind that, I'd go with the 9-cell. But if you do, stick to the 6.
