    I own a Gateway ID49. I am looking to replace my 6 cell battery. I can get a 6 cell that is $33 or a 9 cell for $82. Is the price difference worth it? How many hours would I be able to get from a 9 cell?

    The 9 cell would probably get around 1.7 times the battery life of the 6 cell. You could also get two 6 cells. It really depends on what you want to do.
