Hi Guys,

I have been experiencing some problems with my laptop its with the following config

Core i5-430M
Nvidia Geforce GT 330M
4 GB RAM
500 GB HDD
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
6 Cell Li-ion Battery

My laptop's battery's giving me 1 Hr 16 Mins without Aero(ADSL no wifi/BT)

so my questions are

Is there another Os that might increase battery life??
Should i buy a new 12 cell battery? if yes then how much will it cost?

P.S. My laptop is over 2 yrs old but running perfectly

Buddy, you are reaching the edge of a typical battery lifetime. Its time to get a new one.

You could try running your OS with a lot of background processes turned off, but you wont get more than say 15-20 minutes out of it.
XP used to give me better battery life, but I dont think that really is an option in this case.

What is your laptop model?

oh ok, so how much will 12 cell one cost approx? and my lappy model is Ace Aspire 5745g

Wouldn't 12-cell be too large? It would give around say, more than 8 hrs of back up if I'm not wrong. 9 cell should be enough. A good 9-cell battery should cost around ~3-4k.
