Multi-battery dock-station

210 points posted to New Product Ideas, Laptop Power by pell Apr 18

Introduce a device user can plug a lot of battaries to. The device has a power cord plugged to laptop (for example, as second CD/DVD-slot battery). It can looks like a dock-station with 4 or even more battery slots. It uses the same laptop's type batteries.

Moreover, the device can be equipped with charger to charge a lot of battaries simultaneously.

It can be useful for a long presentations, out-of-office work, etc.

One more thought. It can be integrated into hard alluminium laptop case. It would be a nice option.

This could be especially useful for people who travel out of country without some kind of power adapter or to an area where there isn't a reliable source of electricity. It would be expensive due to the cost of batteries but essential for those that have the need. Maybe make an accessory solar charger to go with it?

This is a dupe. But still a good idea.

Solar charger with laptop? Hmmm, don't get to see people using laptop under the sun nor even leaving laptop in the sun for that matter. Perhaps the solar panels should be mounted on the large umbrella, automobile's roof or surf boards to make it feasible.
