I wonder if Dell sells Valences... Sometimes you can get pretty good deals through their website.

i think they're too new to really be offered at any special prices right now.  buck up and shell out 300 for the big one and you won't be dissapointed!  mine keeps getting better and better!!!  seriously the runtime seems to get better as you use it more.

I have a sharp actius gp22w.  I think it has a 19v connection (I know nothing about voltage)  Does anyone know how I can get a valance to work?  Or suggest some other battery options

quick note on batteries-

I am using a fujitsu lifebook p series (small) here's what I have found.

Valence N-Charge  
Run time with lid open:  Just under 3 hours.
Cost: 200$ at Best Buy in Iowa City.
Charge time:  Less than 3 hours to get a full charge.
Weight: less than 2 lbs.
Size: slightly larger than my laptop.
Bonus:  comes with an extra power cable

Electrovaya Power Pad
Run time with lid open:  120A=about 11 hours  160A=about 15 hours
Cost: 170$ on ebay, about 260$ new.
Charge time: overnight
Weight: about 1.5lbs
Size: same size as my laptop
Bonus: Great for festivals!!

Both of these batteries make models that will fit almost any laptop.  Both use your laptops ac adaptor as the charger, except the Power Pad 160A which comes with it's own charger.

For 19 volts i think you could use 16 1.2V batteries (19.2 volts) like the sub-c batteries at the begining of the thread.

Well, I bought the small vallance & I get over/right at 4 hours with it recording. I would think the bigger model would give y'all a lot more runtime. That's with the lid open, screen set to turn off after 1 min.  Computer kept on during setbreaks.

I also picked up one of the batteryspace batterys. You can plug it right in the vallance if you want. So you know how much power you have left. re letting the battery charge the vallance. Just testing around the house this seems to give me around 2 extra hours.

How much did you pay for the small valence?  I have a Dell Latitude D600, and I need a pack to keep it up and running, especially for upcoming DM+F shows...any recommendations?

Well i have been sitting and thinking about, if you really need 19V just throw two 9.6V in series and you are set.....Haven't tried it, but give it a whirl if you have the 9s.

I'm a little confused on the Valence...I noticed it said it can run two seperate peices at once, and the first post said he was running his laptop AND a UA5.  Is the ua5 running off the Valence also?  So you can get around 4 hrs off the Valence running both the laptop and the UA5?  Is this correct?

edited:  If you CAN run the UA5 off of the Valence, how to you modify(and which) plug to connect it?
Thanx
