    hey guys, i just recently got an X205-SLi5 and was wondering where i could find a universal laptop battery, or some kind of UPS that i could plug my AC adapter into and add maybe 30-60 min on conservative power. i've looked everywhere, but every universal battery doesnt have tips that match the x205 :( and the batteries that ive seen that you can plug the AC adapter into might not have enough watts to power the laptop long enough. i dont know, the battery only runs for about and hour and a half, i dont want to buy a new battery and have to swap it out each time i need more power... if anyone could help me, id be appreciative. thanks.

    Same here I got the sli1 and with it set to high performance I only get 45 minutes of gaming on battery playing Call of Duty 4 multiplayer. I was trying to search for an extended battery that could hold more juice but can't seem to come across such a thing. It sucks having to be by an outlet all the time. If anyone does have a suggestion please post.

    The problem with these kind of batteries is, that you can't really game on them. You really should just look into getting a spare battery.
