The Framework 16 has a 7840HS or 7940HS these are 35W to 54W TDP cpus. The battery is 85Whr.

Doing the math a minimum you get 1.57 to 2.57 hours using the TDP math. But maximum battery life will be a factor of little power the CPUs can run, (approx 5W) and the various items for the laptop systems, display bightness, , fans, M.2 drives, RAM. (approximately 5W to 10W). Crank up the power savings, reduce the brightness, turn off the Wifi / BT, and turn off not necessary programs.

Using that math you can probably get a maximum of 8.5 hours.
