    Any HPs with a secondary batterybay?

    I'm in a need for a notebook with very long battery runtime but still portable. Therefore the Dell D630 or perhaps D830 might be an option due to their capacity to use two batteries at the same time. Does HP have equivalent models? On HPs website I've only been able to find highcapacity batteries that either sticks out or in other ways makes the notebook physically larger.

    I have not seen a HP laptop with 2 battery bays during my research prior to purchase. The only thing I can think of like this would be a dock or an external battery pack (but I think I've only seen external battery packs for the dv6000).

    All the HP Compaq business notebooks (except for the 2510p and the 2710p) have a secondary battery connector on the bottom of the notebook, allowing two batteries to be used at the same time.
