  A bit too fast.
  
  What programs are you running when on battery? How many processes when running on battery?
  
  Do you set the LCD brightness to 100% when on battery?

  no. I could only get the battery life to be longer by undervolting my CPU using notebook hardware control.... Otherwise drop very fast...

  Looks like you could change the battery as well.

  remember not to charge the battery too much, otherwise even 6-cell batteries wont last.

  My friends always say to take out the batt. when using AC Power. When you go out,Put the battery back in. So that batt life will be long.
