    Ok, now that i read some stuffs about t61's batteries, I have some questions about them, please answer them.

    1) is it true that 6 cell battery in a 14" t61 is an "outty" (lol) or more specifically, there's a 2" battery piece coming out?

    2) How long is 6 cell battery life in a 14" t61 with nvidia quadro? And a 4 cell?

    3) How long is the 6 cell battery life in a t61p?

    thanks again for the help

    1. The 6-cell sticks out of the 14", but not by 2 inches. I have a 9-cell and it only sticks exactly 1".

    2. Approximately 2 hrs with 6-cell. 1.5 hrs with 4-cell. Battery life depends on other factors such as screen brightness. You can probably squeeze 2.5 hrs with the 6-cell if you tweaked your power settings.

    3. Probably 2 hrs.

    Are you series? I thought the 6 cell sticks out about 1.1" on the widescreen T61. Are you sure about that with your measurements?

    I am sure now; just used a ruler. The 9-cell sticks out from the 14" T61 by exactly 1 inch.
