Topic: Field powering a MacBook...

[mterry]

I used to have a Vaio and ran N-Charge.....I never worried a bit about draining the battery on the comp. What battery has been getting good results for powering a Mac? I should be running a USBPre into, so a decent backup battery is a must......thanks for any info!

Just fully charge it and turn the screen off (F1 ?).  You should get 4 hours out of it.

I used to get that with my Powerbook when I was using it with a Metric Halo ULN-2
