Hi,Yes, you can buy an additional battery for most laptops, but be aware that they are not cheap. $200 or more would not be unusual.
If a battery weakens to the point where it does not hold a charge well, you may still be able to use the laptop without AC power for a day or two.

Just recently I purchased a Dell Latitude D520 notebook. About how much extra battery life or time using my computer would I gain by turning off the screen? If anyone has used one of these battery savers, no matter what notebook you own, I'd like to know how much more battery usage you gained by turning off the screen.
