Looking for more ways to get more life out of batteries of my AW when i get it, i found this:

http://www.buy.com/prod/APC_UNIVERSA.../10398090.html

Question is...would it work on a m5700 or m5500 or other AW models? I cant quite make heads of tales of the model numbers..lol

Thanx in advance

I think the 5500 uses a Uniwill chassis, and the 5700 uses a fujitsu-siemens chassis.

The 5500 is based on the Uniwill hybrid 259EN3, and I think the 5700 is based on the Fujitsu-Siemens AMILO M3438 / M4438.

There are some Fujitsu's listed, but I don't see Uniwill there.

Google APC, send them an email and ask directly...but it does not appear so and I would also check with AW on any possible warranty issues doing something like this might cause/effect....its worth the 2 minute call

Yea, it uses connector plugs to plug into the AC adapter port, acting has basically a long life external battery. It can extend the life of a machine such as a m7700 up to like 4 hours on battery...for a 57 or 55 it could prolly give like 8. Hence wy i want one..but only if it would be compatible.
