    i don't know for sure. most efficient laptops get about 1 hour per 3 cells. i don't remember if your laptop was above this average. i remember 1 or 2 lenovos getting 4-5 hours per 9 cells so maybe ~90 mins? my 9 cell gets ~3 hours with light usage.

    I have an 8 cell x60s and I get about 6.5 to 7 hours of useage on a full charge. My guess for a 3 cell would be 2.5 hours max?
