When it is fully charged i.e. 100% it shows me around 3:20hrs of battery life remaining. My guess is that even I have got a 4-cell battery. Do know how to check the number of cells of a battery? Any help would be really appreciated. Regards, Shashank Hi,

I’ve read so many good things about Lenovo service online, didn’t turn out to be so far. First, they shipped it to wrong place (school) instead of to my house. Second, I ordered it with the bigger 7-cell battery… I got a 4-cell battery in the mail. When we called em up, they refused to acknowledge that I ordered a 7-cell, wouldn’t even let me pay the difference to get a 7-cell, so i order another 7-cell batter and i had to pay full price for it… sigh; wouldn’t even let me exchange my 4-cell battery for a 3-cell bay. I was really disappointed. And guess, what my 7-cell battery while in the process of being shipped from Honhkong with UPS express got held up by FDA, cause you know Lenovo tries to smuggle food with my battery. One would think that was the end, but then it got lost on the way to MI from the sorting center god knows whenever. Then it got found somewhere in KA, turns out it bounced 4 times between sorting centers in KA and AR (this part is really not Lenovo’s fault). UPDATE: Lenovo solves the situation read all about it here. [...] [...] Well the one bad thing I found so far is… the Thinkpad/Lenovo service.
