Does the battery decrease for 8600, 9100 and 9300 also?

    The battery size. Battery for more old laptops like 8200 dosen't give same long life on battery after 18 months, as it did when it was new.

    The battery technology hasn't changed - you will see a decrease in lifetime as the battery ages. Lithium ion batteries run about 18 months-2 years, though some survive longer and some fail sooner.

    What a shame, I hoped that they had fixed that issue to now...

    EDIT: is there any pirate-batterys for the Inspiron / Latitude-series which not uses Lithium?

    No, and even if there were, they'd have a shorter run time and weigh more.
