That being said, take this with a grain of salt as the 6-cell was supposed to last 5.5 hours according to online reviews but in Linux it gets closer to 4. I haven't tried running any benchmarks but I suspect the way you get 5.5 out of it is by turning everything off but the bare essentials (e.g. no wifi, lowest brightness, etc.).
