Hello, I was looking to buy a C90S laptop but my only concern is the battery life. I heard of people buying a second battery but I was thinking of getting an external battery such as the ones from http://www.batterygeek.net/Laptop_Tablet_PC_Battery_Packs_s/1.htm
Rated at over 100 Whrs this is over double the rating of the regular 50ish Whrs of the regular battery and seems like a good idea for more battery life. The only problem is that the C90S isnt specifically listed as a compatible laptop (although is does list asus in general). Anyone tried these batteries on their C90S or have similar solutions to the C90S's low battery life?
