I am thinking of ordering a wireless Dell Inspiron 1150.
This would be my first notebook computer. I have a question about the
battery choices which are:
65 whr 8-cell versus 96 whr-12 cell.
Ok, the Dell site indicates the latter will have about 500 charge/discharge
cycles versus 300 for the former.
But, how long will these lithium ion batteries hold a charge. That is, once
fully charged, how many hours of use until they need to be charged again.
Does one last, say for 2 hours and the other 3 hours, or are they the same
in that regard.
Also, if I run the laptop on AC power, is the battery being used at all??
(Told you these were basic questions!)
