Laptop Extra battery

[Araero]

hey all,

 

i'm looking for a external battery for my laptop, all i see around on stores are those clunky boxes you set beside you, any chance there is a universal external battery that fits right under your 15,6 inch laptop. (i dont mind the little extra thickness)

what laptop is it ? because some makes have larger batteries as a option and you could just buy it

what is your laptop model? Everything is proprietary in the PC world, so a universal one wont likely exist.

Gaming laptops use an incredible amount of power, even buying large bulk battery wont necessarily grant you any meaningful amount of power. Maybe buy a cheap Chromebook to use day to day and save your laptop for when you need considerable power.

let me explain my situation. maybe it helps. im following a study which requires me to be in the same class room for 3+ hours without a wall outlet anywhere close. despite its a gaming laptop i dont use all its functions but its the only thing i have at this moment, i do need some of the power (not all, i rarely use the graphics card)

Do you have a tablet? I use an iPad when I got to classes and I take notes. As @bgibbz stated, get a chromebook which has good battery life.

Well, for note taking, you could use your phone. Also, what applications do you use?

Sony Vegas, if configured correctly wil try to use your GPU and CUDA Cores, this will incrase the power draw of your laptop. VMWare is not that demanding.

 

Looking on the internet I see that Your laptop uses a Core I7-4700HQ (47W TDP) GTX 860M (45W TDP) and a 150W power Brick. that's quite some power Draw.

 

Sadly you will have to settle with one of those clunky boxes that you set beside you (they are this big because you have a Big Battery and an inverter to conver DC into AC so you can plug your Power Brick). just make sure it's able to give you the 150W that your AC adapter will try to draw under load.

 

Generic solutions that you can stick under the laptop I have not seen. I don't know if they exist. but they will probably interrupt the vents for your CPU/CPU. So it might not be a good idea.

 

The biggest that I could find on amazon is this ChargeTech - Portable AC Outlet Battery Pack 27000mAh 95W / 110V, but it's only 95W it might not cut it.
