    Wonder if there are any external battery able to handle the clevo, alienware, asus or any others demanding laptop.
    I heard about the power station batteries but never tried it
    For my laptop (w860cu) internal batteries are not worth it. Any input?

    That'll give you a couple of hours. The Apple products are the only ones I know of that have external 3rd party battery extensions. Notebooks like the HP Envy and several others have "battery slices" that attach onto the notebook, but I'm pretty darn sure those aren't an option on a Clevo.

    You are better off buying spare batteries designed for your laptop, rather than some "universal" battery designed to be used in any laptop.

    my laptop allows only less than 1 hour battery life (laugh forbidden) :D
    At full speed it's even closer to half an hour
    I don't plan to buy 10 of those yet
