batteries

[firsttimeposting]

I've seen alot of people suggest DVD watching to keep yourself occupied on a flight. Does anyone know where or how to get a battery that lasts longer than the two hours I get with the battery that comes with my laptop? I know there are some chargers that work on planes, but as far as I know, unless you are in business or first, there is nowhere to plug your charger into. Any other options?

You can go to Best Buy... be sure to take your laptop with you.

They have a battery that is about 1/4" thick and about 6" x 4" . It basically is flat and fits under your laptop. You plug into it just like you plug into a wall outlet.

If I remember right... it is about $70.00.

When you start to run low on your internal battery, you bring this out, put it under your laptop, and plug in. It gives you about 3 additional hours.

I say take your laptop, because they are not all universal. They have about 4 models depending on your system.
