6-cell or 9-cell? Intel or ATi?

Definitely yes, even for a 6-cell. Heck my A31p used to get more than two hours on a new battery, and these things were horrendously power-hungry.

My T60 with an X1300 gets about 3 hours under average to above average load/use with a new 6 cell. As I sit here and type this the gauge says 3:10.
