I'll be buying a Dell Inspiron 9300 soon, and as I customise it I come across the primary battery which is a 6 cell, 53WHr model.

Then further down it has a second primary battery which is a 9 cell 80WHr model.

My question is which is better and why?

9 cell 80wHr model holds more energy and has larger capacity.
The cells refer to the number of batteries inside brick and the wHr is watts per hour.
Watt Hour (wHr) - Electrical power measured in terms of time. One watt hour of electricity is equal to one watt of power being consumed for one hour. (A one-watt light operated for one hour would consume one watt hour of electricity.)
So bigger is better is longer runtime before auto shutdown.

And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" Huh
So I got me a pen and paper And I made up my own little sign</pre><p></font color=red>

thanks. I thought so.

But then why offer the 9cell battery for less than a second 6cell battery?
