The 3.3 Volt 486 DX2/50 draws 460 milli-Amps (about 1.5 Watts) according to
the Intel specs someone posted to comp.sys.laptops a while back. If the
755 battery is the same as the 750 battery, it's 3.3 Amp-hours. So if the
only thing running on the computer was the CPU, you'd get slightly over 7
hours.
After you factor in the power draw from the memory, screen, system board,
and display, I think you'll be lucky to get a third of that.
Of course if someone who actually owns a TP755Cs could speak up we'd all be
wiser.
