I have one in my Thinkpad T23 right now, along with the main battery and I get around 10 hours of life. Granted I'm running linux with aggressive harddrive spin down timings, somewhere around 10 minutes between spin ups if I'm not forcing the drive to spin up, and it doesnt much because I have a gig of RAM and I'm using 512MB ramdisks for music. I also have numerous other powersaving features like speed stepping, screen brightness etc.... The ultrabay battery rocks though, its the same capacity as the main battery and can be swapped out on a hardware suspend (which works in linux). I carry a spare and I'm mobile all day, hitting at least 10 Wireless APs. Sorry for the rant, but obviously not everyone needs a Super battery, there are solutions if you simply seek them. And I see it coming, for you desktop replacement laptop gamers, there are batteries the size of notebook coolers that last around 8-12 hours, expensive but you guys drop 3+ grand on a laptop to play games.
