    I'd like to do a lot more working when out and about, but even with my 9-cell battery, I don't get much more than 3 hrs (at best) usage from my Dell XPS1530. This means that I have to keep relocating to somewhere I can charge up.

    I'm thinking of getting a 2nd battery so I can swap over when one runs down, but I'll then be tied to have to charge 2 batteries. Is there any way I can charge batteries without them being plugged in to my laptop, so that I can have one on charge indoors, while I'm outside running off the 2nd?

    Here is one for the XPS M1330, I don't know if the batteries are the same. But a little overpriced if you ask me.
