    I'm going to buy a laptop with 9 cell Li-ion Battery 2350mAh/cell, 11.1V/7050mAh/pack. And want to ask is it enough? And how much time I can work on battery?

    How much battery life you get will depend on a number of factors. How bright the screen is, whether WiFi is on, whether you are using the optical drive, etc.

    I know that, but can you say what is your battery and how much time you can work on it.

    need to know what notebook you're talking about. a 12" LCD vs. a 17" LCD makes a big difference as do lots of other factors.

    you need to provide more info to get an answer
