    All four laptops share the same battery, so if it works for one it'll work of the others. I've seen numerous large capacity batteries that are physically larger than the ones they're replacing. In those cases it just acts as a prop for the back of the laptop, making it more economical while increasing battery life. Does such a product exist however?

    The only ones I know of are the same size but come with 8 cells vs the standard 6 cells. My SLI 510p came with a 8 cell battery.

    Hmmm how unfortunate, I already have the largest capacity battery..............

    Oh well, I'm constantly tethered anyways.
