Earlier today HP told me that their new Elitebook 6930 was showing 24 hours of runtime with in benchmarks. I was surprised because yesterday I found out Dell had a notebook with a 19 hour battery life but showed no proof, and gave sketchy detail’s on the system.
HP’s Worldwide Public Relations Manager (Business Notebooks) Mike Hockey said the following in an email to me “Micheal,, it is confirmed. HP can now achieve up to 24 hour battery runtime! This is achieved with the HP EliteBook 6930p, configured with a 6-cell primary battery, HP Illumi-Lite LED backlit display, the new 80GB Intel SSD, and the optional HP Ultra-Capacity Battery.”
In order to get the 24 hours, you will need the 6 cell battery and an extended battery so basically the system will have two batteries onboard.
The 6930, the unit where we get the 24 hours with the extended battery in neither an ultraportable or ultralight. It’s a 5 pound Notebook without the extended battery you need for the 24 hours. . We don’t classify it as ultraportable or ultralight. In HP terminology it’s a balance mobility category. For the rest of the world, it’s probably called mainstream. It’s your corporate 14” notebook

I still don’t buy it. The system probably has everything disabled and it’s tweaked to hell.

They need to provide more info on what kind of applications could be running and still achieve this time.
I would imagine under normal use, 24 hurs could be reduced to ...... 2 hours?

The battery lasts longer than advertised because they are using an SSD drive. With no spindles or moving parts, and less heat to have a fan try to push out, it can and does last that long.
