For mobility you should definitely at least choose the 4800mAh 6 cells version. The runtime was also measured with a battery of this kind.

The 6 cell versions is suit for who like very light notebooks, if weight is the most important aspect. For those who travel a lot the 9-cells 85Wh battery might be interesting too. Its runtime should be about 50% longer than the one of the 56Wh battery. The cost of 47,60.- EUR, at the time of writing, should also be alright.

If you use the Dell XPS M1530 with the bigger 9-cells XPS M1530 battery the notebook will stand gently inclined. Interestingly, this also improves the typing comfort.

The runtime of the 56Wh Akkus ranged from a minimum of somewhat about one hour to a maximum of a little above 5 hours. During DVD playback the runtime of the XPS M1530 was 150 minutes, which should be sufficient for most movies. Even the runtime during WLAN usage, in energy saving mode, brightness at level 6 (one below maximum, display still good legible) of about 3 hours is rather passable.
You can estimate the runtime of the other battery solutions, by subtracting 50% (4 cells, 37Wh)
