Battery Life

Dell has heavily advertised the 19 hour operation capability of the E6400. OK, that is with a 9-cell main battery and the 12-cell battery slice, but the inference is that 6-cells on the battery should be good for 6 hours.

So far, I havent been disappointed. See the image below for 89% = 6 hours 68 minutes remaining. Dell also provides a useful power management utility to help with the fine tuning of power consumption.
