topic How come laptops today don't come with 9 cell batteries? in Electronics https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/How-come-laptops-today-don-t-come-with-9-cell-batteries/m-p/302820#M4553 <P>5 years ago I bought a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop from QVC and it came with a 9 cell battery, which I loved. I bought a new laptop (Dell Inspiron 17R) a month ago and when I was comparison shopping I noticed that all the laptops, no matter the manufacturer, came with 6 cell batteries. Is there a reason why 9 cell batteries are not offered anymore?</P> Sun, 24 Feb 2013 02:01:39 GMT Stargazer77 2013-02-24T02:01:39Z How come laptops today don't come with 9 cell batteries? https://community.qvc.com/t5/Electronics/How-come-laptops-today-don-t-come-with-9-cell-batteries/m-p/302820#M4553 <P>5 years ago I bought a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop from QVC and it came with a 9 cell battery, which I loved.
