    I know that laptop batteries are made to fit on the laptop, but does this actually hold you back from buying better batteries that maybe last longer? I dont know anything about laptop batteries and its connections, but surely there must be a battery manufacturer that produces better batteries for laptops? No one talks about this though so either no one thought about it (doubtful), or it can't be done.

    If there is a way, post it here so i can think about future upgrades for my laptop. :D

    You can upgrade your battery to one with more cells. If you have a 4 or 6 cells battery using one with 9 cells will keep you going for the whole day.
