High capacity battery for Asus Eee PC: is it worth the effort?
The enormous success Asus Eee PC, all over the world, has led many battery manufacturers to design and deploy high-capacity solutions for the home Netbook Asus. HKEPC made some tests with the A220 battery-P701H produced by ESI, 10.400mAh offers a capacity of about 6 cells, comparing with the classic 4-cell battery adapter, and 5.800mAh. ESI batteries are available in two colors (black and white) to match properly with the different colors of the Eee PC 701 and 900.

WiFi, Brightness 100%, Idle
WiFi, Brightness 100%, to 480p playback digital content

The notebook battery lasts 30 years!
Among the many advantages that distinguish a notebook from a common desktop PC there is no doubt the portability, the freedom to use anywhere, any time, even if this power is strictly conditioned by the autonomy of the system. Leaving aside exceptional cases, the battery of a laptop has an average duration of about two hours, with a maximum of 10 hours of continuous work on some processors with ultra low power consumption. This record is destined to be broken soon, because, according to a recent study conducted in research laboratories in the United States Air Force, could be very near the birth of the first battery for notebook, running for 30 years!
This innovative battery is made up betavoltaiche cells, derived from semiconductors and use radioisotopes as the sole source of energy.

How much autonomy you need for your MacBook? If the answer is "as much as possible and more," then you will be interested in these HyperMac. The invention is nothing more than an extra battery, developed by the company Sanha able to prolong the ongoing activity of the portable Apple for a whopping 32 hours. Although "whopping" is perhaps not the appropriate term, because after all this time the computer is running throwing smoke everywhere. Not to mention they are expensive and very heavy.
Moreover, this figure of 32 hours must be taken with many reservations, since manufacturers often stretch far beyond what we really can offer the time to practice. In fact, there are four models with different capacity: 60, 100, 150 or 222 watt-hours. Only with the last build additional maximum autonomy. Anyway, it is clear that we can give them enough extra life to your laptop, the MacBook's battery is only 37 watt-hours.
