Dell Power Adapter D620

I have the D620 and the guys in our IT shop hooked me up with the
"65-Watt Combination Auto/Air Power Adapter for Select Dell Latitude D-Family Notebooks" It's a decent package, although it's not nearly as slick as the iGo or Kensington units. Also, it looks different from the picture as the brick is larger than the standard AC power cord. Finally, although there seems to be a way to extend the power out to other devices, this requires a mythic extra cord I can't find on Dell's site and if I do find it, you can't use it while the laptop is pulled in.

While we are on the D620 anyone have experience with the 9-cell battery for the D620?

Note: My 6-cell battery *does* get to 80% charge in about an hour with this adapter.

Cheers.
