    If you have an SZ, you should be able to optimize battery life for 3 hours on the standard battery. I have the SZ680 and large battery and can manage 7+ hours with 3/8 brightness, web surfing, audio. I can push more battery life if I drop the refresh rate down to 40hz/16 bit color and disable audio.
