^^that battery life is low for 9 cell ..if i remember the reviews correctly..i have ordered the same 9 cell battery..was expecting more..

the least it can give is 1hr 30 mins, not less than that....

I also expected more but,i even have consulted the dell service for that they told me its in good condition after checking the battery test..

It seems that this the max we can get from dell in terms of battery life.

i read the anandtech review and was expecting at least 5 hrs of video playback...looks like 9 cell is not so worthy option...

Battery life in general isn’t class leading for the XPS 15, but it’s good enough to satisfy most mobile users. With the standard 6-cell/56Wh battery, you can get 3.5 hours of video viewing, up to 4.5 hours of web surfing (more if you’re on simple web sites), and nearly six hours of idle battery life. Buy the larger battery and you’re looking at 8.5 hours idle, over 7 hours of Internet surfing, and nearly six hours of video playback. The relative performance of the two batteries also scales almost perfectly with cell count and capacity—the 9-cell lasts 52 to 63% longer than the 6-cell.
