The 6 cell battery version of the HP Mini Note 2140 has been photographed by HP 2133 Guide, as well as comparison pictures of the 3 cell model. The 3 cell model is as you’d expect, sleek, slim and sexy. The 3 cell battery only runs for about 4 hours, where as the 6 cell battery can considerable increase this time by more than twice as much. Liliputing reports that the 6 cell can run for 10 hours if the 2140 has an SSD, but is reduced to 8.5 hours with a HDD instead, but either option provides more battery life.

Unfortunately the extra life comes at the costs of it’s look. With the 6 cell battery in place, the 2140 is no longer as sleek or slim, but rather bulks the netbook up and adds a bit of weight to the netbook.  Fortunately though, it isn’t too unsightly unlike other increased battery life batteries and more than makes up for the extra bulk with the extra hours unplugged usage.
