$500 for a battery and $150 for a car charger what are these people smoking? I'm sure they will sell some. I work in the field with computers and we use car batteries.
Although since its targeted at Mac users who often seem to be unaware that there are other options for most of their problems. I'm sure they'll sell some.
And yes I own a mac but I don't drink the kool aid.
@sea_alex: In your opinion, which is the best external power supply to tote around with a laptop? I don't think I can fit a car battery in my computer bag :P
@ripfire: My interest's in the external battery pack, not the charger. I found a 130Wh example that runs for $300 though. These things are definitely not cheap, no matter where you look.
@Jean Marc Pierre: you should learn to use punctuation it is hard to read your comment especially after a few drinks i have no idea what you just said it really needs a period or two i would even be happy with a comma just some way to see one thought ends and another one begin i am sorry i felt the need to be a grammar nazi somebody needed to say it you fail
You should venture over to Consumerist (where this was originally posted) and see that:
It may have/could have been a sales associate error (handed the wrong one to the guy because the 1st gen chargers don't work on the 3G phones) which begs the question - Did the person go back in and tell them it didn't work? Which could mean that it's not "big, bad company out to get you" syndrome here.

Your effort to be a grammar nazi was full of fail.
