APC Universal Laptop Battery (UPB70)

I think I found my next accessory purchase for my laptop…it’s this APC universal laptop battery.  The APC UPS battery backup for my desktop has saved me countless times. The afternoon thunderstorms that come rolling through my area are always knocking out my power.  And it never fails that the power goes out during the worst time possible.  About 2 years ago I got tired of it and I bought one of APC’s UPS backup products.  It’s worked perfectly for two years, so when I started looking around for an extra laptop battery I was glad to find the one pictured which is also from APC. The battery pictured is their UPB70.  I like several things about this battery. First is the 6 hour runtime.  6 hours…that’ll help on the plane when I forgot to fully charge my laptop.  Second, with dimensions of 10” x 6.5” x 0.6”, the size is perfect and will fit great under the laptop. And third is the weight, weighing only 2 lbs it won’t add to much weight to my bag.  It also has the following features: 4 LED status indicators; 4 selectable output voltages; Charges and powers one mobile device via a USB port; Up to 80 Watts continuous power and 90 Watts peak power.  The UPB70 retails on the APC website for $135.
