    On average how much more time would one get from a 9cell battery v. a 6cell battery?

    from what ive gathered it depends on what configuration you get.. like the gpu and the size of the screen etc.. generally they say that you will see and extra hour to possible 2 with the 9 cell.. but thats not if you have dedicated 8600 gt graphics etc.. with those kind of things you may only see 30min to an hour more ...

    Most likely a 40-50% increase in battery life. (for example from 2 with 6 cell to 3 hours with 9 cell)
