T500 battery life
with the T500 with P8600 processor and 9-cell battery (the one tagged out in the another side). After adding 2GB more memory and an Intel x25-m g2 SSD, I started using it and installed Windows 7. I have been using it for a long a week currently and I have figured out that battery life assumes quite worst. Granted, I have only run it on battery for a long time once, and then I use this about 3h 10 min running time on battery. This was with graphics switched to intel, optical drive switched off, WLAN and 3g-card off, screen dimmed to half, power plan confgure to power source optimized.Usage was somewhat minimum, modifying code within the Visual Studio.
Would it be expected running time? It looks quite short for me, thinking my previous HP nc8430 with T7200 processor (34W TDP) and 7200rpm disk got close to 5 hours when it was purchased newly .. Is there any type of extended battery available?started working with the T500 with P8600 processor and 9-cell battery (the one tagged out in the another side).
