I get about 1 1/2 hours at the max with my B130. It get tiring being told I should not expect decent battery time because was bought a "budget" (cheap) laptop. I'm told the 6-cell batteries gives a longer use time, but most anything would be better. I wold think having a bottom of the line PC, it would use less energy. It's too bad Dell didn't offer a battery upgrade when I bought mine. They only had the option to purchase an "extra" battery. Anyway your best bet is to buy a 6-cell battery. It should at least last a bit over two hours.

I have had the same problem. Good luck as time goes on. This is my daughter's 'college' laptop, and college is 6,000 miles away. When it was less than 3 months old the battery lasted 10 minutes and the B130 will also die (not turn on even under wall power). I emailed Dell for help and did not receive an answer for 5 days. Then they only answered one of my questions. Now nothing. She says the battery still lasts only 5 minutes.
Just had another problem with a customer trying to use Dell service ( 2 in a week). I do computer service at nights and on weekends. I have previously recommended Dells to customers and I bought this laptop from Dell for my daughter. I don't think I can still recommend them.
Hopefully we can get this fixed when she gets home?

Anyway I emailed Dell again before she got home. They replied quickly this time are sending another battery.
Maybe it was just a bad week when I had the two problems. I hope so, I have two Dell laptops (Inspiron 7500 and 8000)of my own and they are great!
