Default Laptop batteries?

How much longer will a 9-cell Primary Battery and 9-cell additional Lithium Ion Battery than a 85Whr Lithium Ion Battery (9 cell)?

Is it worth another 80 dollars?

Its jsut adding a new battery. so twice the time. I would say it would be about 6 hr total compared to 3 hr. the catch is you have to swap the batteries. So turning off your comp and changing the battery

No, all you have to do is get a small philips screw driver and un screw the screw and slip the battery out and place the other one in.
Sometimes you can just slide the cover off though.

They are the same thing, just for $80 more you get a second battery, which is worth it IMO.

It's insanely easy to replace, you just move the slider and take the battery out.
