User an External Battery as Your Laptop Power Supply

Don't be the one walking around the local coffee shop looking under tables for an outlet. Get a reliable laptop power supply with an external laptop battery.

Have you ever been in your local coffee shop looking around under all the tables and chairs for a free outlet for your laptop? It's a real pain isn't it! It's such a drag not to mention you look funny walking around looking under all the tables. I still haven't figure out why more coffee shops and cafe's that advertise "free wi-fi" don't have more outlets! So what do you do if you're laptop battery lasts the average 90 minutes that most do? Maybe you forgot your laptop power supply at work and could really use a long-lasting battery right now. Especially if you have more than a few hours worth of work. (although I'd say if you have more than a few hours worth of serious work, you may want to pick some place other than a coffee shop) At least if I'm being honest with myself, I'm going to a coffee shop to work but also to socialize and feel I'm part of something... like it's my "third place." But that is a different topic, back to extending the work time of your laptop.

So, with the average laptop batter lasting 90 minutes, 1.5 hours, what do you do if you're going to be working for a longer period of time. Or, what about this scenario, you've had your laptop with you during an afternoon meeting (running on battery power), then stop by the coffee shop to finish up a few things and realize you only have 20 minutes worth of battery time left. Or worse yet, you leave your laptop power supply at work or home! I've done this many times running out of the house late for work or getting home, what a drag!

Well, don't just think that you have to make due with the things you already have, i.e. internal laptop battery and manufacturers power supply. You do have other choices, ones that will not only make your laptop last longer on remote power, but give you the ability to power other mobile devices as well. Enter the External Laptop Battery Supply. The external laptop battery can be used as a universal laptop power supply providing power to many different laptop models as well as other mobile devices.

Battery technology has come a long way. Just look at what they're doing with the Lithium batteries in cars and cell phones! Now you have an alternative power source for your laptop that can last up to 10 hours! Now with that said, some of these external laptop batteries can be heavy (1 to 3 lbs) but some of the more expensive ones can be pretty light. Obviously you're not going to get over 10 hours of battery life without some trade off. The price for these batteries is anywhere from $100 to over $500 dollars. Someone should be able to find a suitable replacement for their internal battery power around any budget.
