Which Laptop Brands offer Larger Batteries for their Laptops ones with 95WHR? Some did why so few now?

Well I am looking for a new laptop but I use one where there is no AC Power and in the past I have been able to buy a Laptop with the ability to buy a larger Battery than the ones that seem to to come with most laptops. SO far I seem to only find laptops with a 4WHR Battery and someone I know bought a laptop and his does not last but maybe 2 hours that is not longer enough for my needs. Ands when I bought laptops before you could search out which models offered other batteries but now few if any do even when you ask questions before buying and seems now most brands don't offer a larger battery like a 95WHR for most all their laptops.

So who does make a laptop that you can buy a laptop that has the capability of buying a larger OEM Battery and the ac adapter that will have the ability to charge the larger battery and not overheat?

And need the Laptop to use OS Windows 7 If at all possible???

Any brand and model specific suggestions would be welcome???

Because manufacturers try to match battery capacity and size with actual power consumption of the laptop (not that they always succeed, but going into laptop manufacturer's design choices is a whole other debate). It's not just looking at the Whr that you need to do, but at the whole package. My tablet with an atom CPU, gets more runtime on a ~18 Whr battery than my M6700 gets on its 97 Whr battery (which by the way, just answered your question with a yes).

Most Thinkpads, Latitudes, Elitebooks have multiple battery options. The reality these days is that a lot of laptops come with non-removable batteries because it saves spaces and allows for thinness, of course, that isn't the case for all laptops and you'll find Ideapads and the like with removable batteries also.

Anyways, you would probably be better served filling out the form in the sticky in the what notebook should i buy section and make a thread there with all of your requirements. The form in the sticky is pretty detailed, so we'll have an idea of what kind of hardware and battery life you want. Without knowing those two, it'll be hard to make a recommendation. If your computing needs aren't too intensive, then a 95 Whr battery may just be overkill for the actual battery life you'd like to have.

 

Make sure you can read the specifications correctly. I don't think any notebook has a battery as small as 4 Whr (my phone has a 2.5Whr battery) and notebook batteries are usually 30 Whr or more. Manufacturers (and often reviewers) indicate the battery capacity in Amp-hours which is of no use without knowing the voltage (usually around 7.8v or 11.6V depending on how the cells are connected).

Nonetheless, I am also annoyed by the tendency of the manufacturers to cut the battery capacity as the system power requirements reduce rather than give me a notebook which I know will run under light usage for a working day without neededing a power socket.
