I recieved a Toshiba 45M. I love it, but the battery is a killer..

I've been using the APC Universal Notebook Battery for a couple of months. At around $200 USD, not too much more than what a replacement internal battery for my HP nc6000 would cost. Using power saver settings on my laptop I can get 4+ hours from this battery.
