You sick and tired of only getting one to two hours out of your laptop's battery before being forced to plug in? You have two options: buy an additional laptop battery or buy an external battery pack. My laptop only gets an hour of power before dying a horrible, gasping death. Another battery, at $100 each, could add an hour to my machine's lifespan, but I'd have to either plug in or shut down to swap batteries. At $150 I could get one of these Valence N-Charge external battery packs and add up to 5 hours of battery life to my machine. You can even buy an expansion pack for the N-Charge and get a total of up to 10 hours of battery life!
That's a pretty good deal. Consider the alternatives: for 10 hours of battery life I could purchase 10 batteries from Averatec at $100 each (that's $1000 for those of you bad at math) and carry around an estimated10 pounds in my laptop bag. Or I could get the N-Charge + expansion pack for $300 and carry around an extra 2.8 pounds in my laptop bag.
Now - how do I get the company to ship me one for "evaluation" purposes?
