buying a used x60s, but which battery should I chose?

#1 Post by Heliotropen » Mon Oct 04, 2010 6:45 am

As seen in my other thread I'm buying a used x60s, - the person selling it, has said that I can chose to get either a 4 cell or an 8 cell battery with it(since he has both, and has the same machine himself):

The 4 cell holds power for only 1 hour
The 8 cell holds 3,5 hour
(both viewed with the built-in Power Management).

Thoughts?

(I have to descide in a few hours max)

Thnx guys

If you ride the trains two hours a day, wouldn't you need something that works for at least two hours?

Did not know what to choose, so I bought both for 200 dkr extra.
Sry for posting about it in here.

Good choice. It's nice to have the 4-cell most of the time, and the 8-cell sometimes.
