    Do they make them? I was curious if they have something that you can plug into the adapter plug to provide extended battery life. I understand laptops run on different voltages, so you'd need to get the appropriate battery pack. But if you have that information, it should be simple and straight forward right?

    Yes, I have seen them in stores. They are usually pretty expensive. If you did a google search, you get back a lot of products.

    There is a review of Universal Battery on the Tablet PC Review site. Click on Universal Battery to read it.

    Seems pretty cool. My problem is I'm getting a Lenovo Z61t, and they've got really odd power connectors. Nobody else seems to have the conversion for it.
