Battery Question

My current XPS 15 laptop has a 65 WHr 9-cell Battery. The new version of the XPS 15 has a 91 WHr, 6-Cell Battery. What is the difference between the two? Thanks!

The new system has larger battery cells.  It's also likely a non-removeable battery - these can be made into odd shapes and still, despite their size, fit inside slimmer systems.

All else equal, 30% or so.  However, the newer system probably has a lower-power CPU, so it will likely be more than that, particularly if the new system has an SSD rather than a spinning hard drive.

How much more battery life will I have if I get the new battery?
