how long does it take to recharge 9 cell battery from empty to 100%, dell claims 1.5hr on 6 cell while other users agree, this would def make or break my decision on hel80 thanks

the "rapid charge to 90%" is just how Li-Ion batteries are charged in general. You have a constant current for the first bit where it charges fast, and then it switches to a constant-voltage so that it fills up the rest of the way, albeit slowly.
See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_ion_battery#Specifications_and_design -
I think the charging's real quick! I haven't measured the charging time, but it's pretty good for a 9-cell battery (I'm charging mostly with the computer on)

Maybe its because most of my systems are dual battery older inspiron 8100/8200's? 16cells of juice takes a bit to dry and refill =D
Erm, scratch that, this thinkpad doesn't do it either.
I was pretty sure it had to do with a special a/c adapter and voltage regulator for the charging mechanism.. *shrug*
