    I bought a Dell Inspiron 1501 with the 9-cell Primary Battery and 9-cell additional Lithium Ion Battery option and was wondering if someone makes a battery charger that will work with these, so I can be charging one battery while using the other one.

    Thanks.

    I do know what you are talking about - I see that for digital & video camera batteries.

    No, such a product is probably not in the works nor will ever come out. The solution to your problem would be to get a modular battery for your media bay, so you can have your primary and secondary charging (and being used) simultaneously.

    Actually, if you search an external charger, like my 1150, there is an external charger. Like this one, found at ebay.

    Gautam is talking about two battery bays, which of course isnt possible with 1501.
