any help please

I was under the impression that all 9-cell batteries for W510 were 94Wh. Do you have one that says 84Wh?

I wondered that the Thinkpads's review said that in the Battery Life part !!

Battery Life
Unfortunately, abysmal battery life is a consequence of the quad core processor, powerful NVIDIA graphics and large, bright screen. Our model is equipped with the standard 84Whr 9-cell battery, and yet runtime generally averaged in the two and a half hour range. If you reduced screen brightness, changed the power profile to maximize runtime and stuck to browsing websites or using office productivity software, you could see around three hours.

I am thinking they are wrong. We now have two W510 Thinkpads in our company and they both have the 9 cell 94Whr battery.

It is the only battery listed, that I can find, for the W510.

Could anyone comment on the battery life of the W510?

I'm deciding between a T510 and W510 and battery life is an important factor for me. I don't need the W510's graphics, but due to availability and discounts, it is relatively convenient/cheap for me to get it compared to the T510.

Thanks.
