Inspiron 5100 Battery Life
Hey everyone, I was wondering what kind of battery life you are getting from your 5100. I know it depends a lot, but my friend is getting over "3 hours remaining" when he starts up his 5100 with a 100% charged battery. My screen is as on as dim as it goes, and I can get to about 2.5 hours (thats what it says when it starts up with 100% battery life left). How long does yours say it will last? Any ways to get more battery life? Thanks.

You can also reduce the number of WINDOWS 'SERVICES' that are running in the background all take up power and CPU cycles to run...Visit http://www.blackviper.com to see what you can and cannot safely do without.

it all depends on the battery cell the you have you can look at the battery and look for
9c or 8c or 4c. c stands for cells
9c last for like 3hour
8c last for 2hrs
4c last for an hour
you can increase this by setting your system to portable power or you can think about getting a processor that
have speed step or hypertherading
