Lenovo X301 Battery Life Question

Does anybody use a Librebooted X301 and can comment as to what kind of battery life I could expect on a brand new battery ? I just do web browsing; messaging such as Matrix; XMPP; etc; and word processing.
I have no idea but I suspect there might be different battery sizes available so you might need to first tell how many mAh yours has

I don't own the X301 yet but the new batteries I see in my area would be Li-ion 10.8v 3600mAh. The laptop would cost me a bunch to get a librebooted version and I was hoping to get an idea of battery life before buying as that is my biggest requirement of a laptop.
Based on my experience with other ThinkPads, I'd expect around 2h of work on battery power — but that's just a guess. Something as simple as backlight settings might have a huge effect here.
Also, I blindly assumed that by "battery life" you mean the time of work on battery power. It now occurred to me that without context it could also mean the age at which the battery becomes so weak it's useless. I hope you meant the first thing.
Btw, why X301? It seems easier to find replacement parts (including batteries) for other ThinkPads.
At least here in Poland, on one e-commerce site, I see a great choice of batteries for T400 (including ones larger than 3600mAh) and only a single 3600mAh offer of a new battery for X301
Hello PublicLewdness,
i own a librebooted Thinkpad X301 from Technoethical and can say it's a very nice, slim laptop, which i bought for travel purposes, but:
The experience with my X301 is, that its battery doesn't last more than max. 1 1/2 hour depending on what your doing with, it can be that it only lasts for an hour. So i use at it home, because 1 1/2 hour isn't enough battery life for me on the go.
Even the change of the "original" battery didn't change this experience.
I bought the replacement here:
Best wishes
That battery is also only 3600mAh. I have used bigger ThinkPad batteries with about 6600mAh. You'd need to see, however, if these are available for X301 (they are surely available for T400&friends).
Btw, it's interesting to see people from around the world use batteries from a company based ~5km from where I live
