Is there any difference between the battery life of Centrino based laptops
and Celeron M laptops?

The laptops are cheaper with a Celeron M chip.

The Celerom M is part of the Centrino chipset.

That's because the Celerom M has half the amount of onboard cache and does
not have all the fancy power control the Pentium M does.

From what I've seen, there are other cost-saving features like using
older screen tech with less resolution; smaller, slower HDs, etc. It
takes a lot of work to get the Celeron M laptops to the very low price
point.
