I have the 9-cell ibm battery with the T60 being reviewed. It adds a bit of weight over the standard 6-cell thinkpad t60 battery and sticks out but if you want close to 4 hours of battery life with the 15″ screen model you’ll need this size. In using the T60 without Wi-Fi and at medium brightness (3rd notch of 7) it got 3 hours 42 minutes of battery life when used lightly (typing review, or idling). You can expect to get over 3 hours with Wi-Fi on and finishing a DVD with the 9-cell ibm thinkpad t60 battery shouldn’t be a problem, well, unless it’s Lord of the Rings.

The T60 14″ screen size will do much better in terms of time of battery life per cell because a smaller screen just drains less battery. My guess is the 6-cell battery for the T60 14″ will get you about what the 9-cell battery does for the 15″ — again, that’s just a mildly educated guess.
