Additonal Battery purchase

I am curious why a "new 16-cell battery" for the Inspiron 9100 direct from dell is $220, but if I had ordered it a week ago (as a 2nd battery) with my laptop it would only run me $145?

Sort of rediculous if you ask me, anyone forward me to the return policy on laptops?  or do you guys think if I call a sales person they will be able to give me a lower price?

Shrug... 2 hours of battery life isnt great, my brothers 5150 that I ordered gets almost 6 hours on the 96 whr battery while mine chokes in a little over 2.

They discount accessories on initial purchase.

2 hours is the laptop's advertised capacity - you bought a desktop machine in a small form factor effecivly, and for that speed you sacrafice battery life. - if battery life were a concern an 8600 would have been a better choice.

Advertised? Where?

Does anyone know the return policy?

I am the king of finagle.   Just talked them into selling me it for $129 instead of $220.

 

So nevermind on the return policy.
