    Depends on what you are doing. Maximum of 7 hours without any undervolting on both batteries. Ofcourse there is a minumum but again all depends on how you running your lappy.

    .... I've figured you can get between 20 and 40 minutes per cell on the battery (obviously very high and very low figures based on MIN and MAX use).... That would be 2.6 to 5.3 hours on the standard 8 cell battery........ Everyone is going to be different based on what they do, but if you can figure out your life on an 8 cell, just divide it and figure out what you're getting per cell...... then if you want to figure out what you're going to get off the main 8 cell and the optical bay 6 cell.... just multiply that by 14 as that would be the total number of cells with both batteries installed.
