    How many have tried the two batteries?
    What settings work best for the different dell laptops ?
    Are there any other companies that make better batteries ?

    What do you think of the battery sticking out the back, is it worth the extra time ?

    Yes, I don't think that the back sticking out a little is that bad considering the 9-cell provides alot more battery life than the 6-cell. I get extremely good life with my 9-cell, but I don't know if other companies might have longer lasting ones.

    If you want your battery to last as long as possible, follow this guide:
