    Hey guys i recently bought a hp dv5t with a 9600gt with a regular 6 cell battery and am not impressed with the 1.5 hours battery life i am getting at all. I think i need to upgrade to a 12 cell battery but looking at hps price its over 100 dollars ?!?. I recall the upgrade price to 12 cell battery when i was customizing the pc to be like 40 bucks so why the huge price difference? Might there be anything else to do to drastically give me more battery life in ubuntu or vista? thanks!
