Apple Thoughts: Quickertek's New MB Air Battery

"QuickerTek has released its latest notebook accessory, a new external battery for the MacBook Air. The external pack powers the device while simultaneously charging the internal battery. The company claims users can achieve 12 to 16 total hours of run time, or around 6 to 10 extra hours of power."

Myfirst reaction, of course, was "How do they do this? Did Apple let them license the Magsafe adapter?" Nope, you have to have the one QuickerTek will modify for you. The battery retails for $349.95 and adds an additional six to ten hours of battery life. If you don't have a modified Magsafe, they'll sell you one for $100 or you can have yours altered for $25.

A bit pricey for some more juice, but in the end, that's a ton of time you're gaining for that long flight. If time is money, this might be the move for you.
