HP Claims EliteBook will Run 24 Hours on a Single Charge

From DailyTech: HP made an announcement today that should help solve mobile warriors’ biggest enemy -- battery life. HP says that its EliteBook 6930p when configured with an optional ultra-capacity battery and other options will run for a full 24 hours on a single charge.

HP says that is enough run time for the longest airline flight in the world -- the Newark Liberty International Airport to Singapore Changi Airport flight taking 18 hours and 40 minutes -- on one single battery charge.

The ultra-capacity battery isn’t all that is needed to get 24 hours of use form the EliteBook. HP says that you also need to be running Windows XP, the latest Intel graphics drivers, and a special HP BIOS on the software side. HP is very specific on the hardware needs as well. The system has to be running HPs Illumi-Lite LED display and the new Intel 80GB SSD.

The HP Illumi-Lite LED display is slated for launch in October and HP claims that the display alone increased battery life by 4 hours compared to a traditional LCD. The new Intel SSD is also credited with improving battery life by 7%.
