Thats wrong... I would say Acer's support is among best in India... My adapter went off recently due to thunderstorm lightning in Bangalore... I took it to service centre... And they gave me a new adaptor same day!

Even if you are living in remote area of India... They won't take much time!

Well with my Inspiron 1420 i normally get 3hrs for the movie. plz note that while watching movies i normally disable useless services. I also exit the Antivirus. though these things matter only for 15 mins more backup, in my experience.

I really dont know where u read the battery reviews for the Dell, but Dell working fine with me. There is no problem so far. Offcourse i use battery mode once a week harldy to discharge.

SledgeHammer · 04-20-09, 05:38 PM

If Inspiron 1420 is giving 3 hrs backup, then the Inspiron 15 with 6 cell battery should also give equal backup.

TheRedDevil · 04-20-09, 06:16 PM

Hmmmmmmm.... thanks for the useful info, will keep this in mind

anshul.madan · 05-04-09, 06:26 PM

hey Rakshith
I am using a dell 1525 and it gives 3 hrs backup on internet and while watching movies also....and otherwise it gives 4-5 hrs of backup...
but keep the battery mode on power saver mode and lower down the brightness of screen...this will be helpfull to you too in saving power....

deepmohan · 05-04-09, 09:02 PM

Almost each and every laptop with 6 Cell will give you around 2-2.30 Hrs backup only u can get some more by changing the power saver option n getting unused services disabled.

Regarding after sales service:

these are electronic goods so it depends on your luck too may work without any problems or it may give u problems, so just look for your configuration what u are in need n ur budget n go with the one which best fits.

if u keep doing research u will find complaints n service problems regarding each n every brand out in the market, so just go head.

i truely agree with your point...... well ppl with good experience with a particular brand will give good reviews about it and if some have bad experience with the same brand, they give bad reviews... it's all about what an individual have experienced

Depends on how you use. Normally , 6 cell battery lasts for 3-3.5 hours depending on usage. Eg, if you run a heavy game on battery, its bound to drain quickly.

3-3.5 hours for 6 cell battery in normal use, Eg, chatting,surfing,listening to music , working on MS office. ( All simultaneously).

5-6 Hours for 9 cell battery in normal mode as said above.

To maximize battery performance, lower brightness of display, turn off bluetooth , wi-fi etc.

Hope you got a general idea.

If you compare Inspiron 14 with 15, Battery is same.

But i will say go for Inspiron 15

If all settings are same, Inspirion 14 should give more backup than Inspirion 15. Simply because smaller screen consumes less power.

Note: Battery is same in both the models.

urstop · 10-15-09, 10:24 PM

I have been using Dell Inspiron 15 from last 8 months and I am pretty happy with its performance. I have never stress tested the battery but I am sure it should give you around 3 hrs of backup. You can always get a 12 cell battery if you want a longer backup.

spadman · 10-20-09, 04:02 PM

Is the 9 call battery installed as a standard brand by dell.. or can we add convert from 6 cell to 9 cell on our own? and does that affect the warranty?

itsmemad · 10-21-09, 10:24 AM

6 cell battery is included free of cost. You've to shell out around 1750 bucks to opt for 9 cell at the time of purchase of the Notebook. Replacing Battery according to the specifications later won't affect the Warranty.
