    For those who have reported here a battery life of about 3 hours on a 15.4" T61 with 6-cell (+ integrated?): is it with the regular power scheme or on the power-saving scheme?

    hello T61 owners? do you think the 3 hours battery life with 6-cell is on power-saving or regular power scheme?

    Definitely power saving. I get about 3:30-4 with a 7 cell on the lowest CPU and near lowest LCD. Full power is about 2 hours
