[SPARCbook] Huge Battery

[Matt Evans]

The Tadpole lore speaks of a huge external battery pack that has 4-6 hours
of life in it.

This would be cool, it would border on making the sparcbook a useable
laptop, as opposed to a portable sparc.

Does anyone have such a beast ?  Has anyone seen one ?  Is the battery life
really that good (and if so, is it sustainable after many recharges ?).

I'm wondering how much of a pain it'd be to have a battery custom
fabricated for the thing for massive battery life.  Maybe a huge battery
that the tadpole sort of clipped onto.. i.e the battery was the entire
bottom panel... so it just adds thickness to the unit but not in any other
dimension.  And it'd help keep your lap nice and toasty, just like the
normal tadpole :)

What are the electrical specs of the tadpole battery connector ?  What
makes a long running battery at a given voltage/current requirement ?
