Dell Inspiron 15Z Laptop Battery Life
Dell Inspiron 15Z laptop comes standard with a 48Wh 6-cell battery, which worked surprisingly well in our tests. An optional 9-cell 90WH Dell Inspiron 15z Laptop Battery is also offered with some configurations if you needed extended runtime. In our tests with the screen brightness reduced to 70%, wireless active and refreshing a webpage ever 60 seconds, and Windows set to the Balanced profile, the Inspiron 15Z stayed on for 3 hours and 43 minutes. While the number was fairly decent for a budget laptop, we were surprised the time was identical to what we saw on the larger Inspiron 17R.
