It allows you to “plug-in” electrical power wirelessly.

W/ the IBM Ultra Bay, I’ve gotten 9.5 hrs on my old ThinkPad T21, naturally it didn’t come w/ WiFi standard, but with a CardBus adapter on low power, I still get about 7 hrs +/-.

The way I did it: I bought a Re-filled 4800MaH Primary and a 3600 Mah secondary. The trick is that I run it on the secondary first, swapping only when I needed to use the bay for my DVD/CD Burner. Just pop in the primary while still running on the secondary, and it will run seamlessly.

Just a few pointers,

In 2004 I bought an Asus M3N, with a built in battery which was in the 4-5 hour (audio + wireless) range. I bought a second battery, which would sit into the hot-swappable optical drive bay. That gave me 8.5-9 hours. For the better part of a year I sat in a coffee shop a full 8 hours a day working from my laptop.

However though, as machines get faster they consume more power. I’m now looking into dual core laptops and finding that I’m going to have trouble getting even as much as 5 hours out of a laptop.

Also, hot-swappable optical drive bays seem to be going out of style, and so laptops that can take a second battery don’t seem to be as common.

anybody have a Ripley’s or Guiness contact?

I’ll vouch, one whole working day with WiFi on half the time, zero power outlet time.

I think we should document that, that could possibly a local record.
