Occams Razor writes to say "I recently moved from using an N-Charge I external battery to the next version, called the N-Charge II. The series I battery was really handy and well designed; it let me work/use my laptop continuously for the 10+ hour flights that I end up taking with some regularity these day. The series 1 is slim, maybe .5 inches thick (approx. 1.5cm) and has the same footprint as an IBM T40 or T41 laptop (which is what I have). This means it fit perfectly under my laptop. Unfortunately, the Series 2 N-charge (Saphion) battery appears to be the worst kind of marketing spawn. Here are the full details that I've written up in hopes that others will learn from my mistake. (And -- who knows? -- maybe the company will listen.)" Read on below for the rest.
