    I've been pondering this, should I order an additiobnal 6 cell battery for the L2000. I mean, how long do batteries normally last. I have no doubt it'll last all day, but an extra battery would be nice to have on hand just in case somethin did happen. Did anyone else order extra batteries or just 1?

    No, an extra battery is generally a waste unless you know you're going to be away from power for a while.

    Read my review, on the 6cell you could expect over 2 hours at idle. That would change with standby and such.

    Neither, they'll likely stay about the same. Sometimes there are sales on accessories though.

    Yea, but if you ordered 10 extra 12 cell with your laptop and then eBay them, you make out pretty well.
