QuickerTek has announced the US$449.95 MacBook External Battery/Charger for the 15-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook laptops. It either charges or powers MacBooks with up to 10 additional hours of computing power.
QuickerTek built MagSafe compatibility into the product, says President Rick Estes. “We use the regular MagSafe connectors coming out from the Battery/Charger, so you don’t have to do anything different,” he adds.
While the stock MacBook Pro recharges in five hours using the AC wall adapter, the MacBook Pro External Battery/Charger purportedly recharges in only three hours. It uses a Li-ion Polymer battery, measures 9×6 x 1 inches and weighs five pounds.
