you can upgrade the battery so it will last longer. If you have a 4 cell battery now it probably lasts about 2 hours give or take. If you upgrade to an 8 cell it will double the battery life, but it won't fit flush with the bottom of your computer. I kind of like this though, because it gets the bottom off the desk and lets air flow around easier. (The biggest battery I have seen for a dell was 12 cell and it lasted 5 hours.)

Sorry, I might not have been clear....I was talking about how long batteries last in terms of life-span...like how many months/years, etc...good info though, thanks.

It depends. If you leave your laptop plugged in all the time the battery dies out a lot faster. I used to rarely unplug my 6 year old Powerbook G4, and the battery will only hold a full charge for about 20 minutes now. You need to completely drain the battery somewhat regularly to get the longest life out of it.

Cool, thanks. I'll note that for the next one.
