QuickerTek promises extended MacBook Air battery life for $350!!!
CrunchGear —
... charger that promises eight to twelve extra hours of battery life giving your MBA up to 18 hours of battery life. That sounds fine and dandy, but that extra juice comes at a premium.
The external battery/charger costs $350, but you’re also going to need a modified 45W MagSafe charger that costs an extra $100. Or you can send in your existing MagSafe and have it modified for $25.
The Li-ion polymer battery weighs 1.2 lb and is good for 1000 charging cycles.

External Battery Promises 16 Hours for MacBook Air
Wired: Gadget Lab —
... QuickerTek’s word for efficacy of its own pack, we’ll add another six. That’s 9 altogether, which isn’t bad, but far from the 16 claimed.
The battery pack will cost a rather steep $350, and you’ll have to spring for a modified magsafe charger to charge it (another $100) or send your own off to be tweaked ($25). Expensive? Yes, but cheaper than upgrading to business class where you could just plug the thing in.

QuickerTek External Battery for MacBook Air adds 10 Hours
jkOnTheRun —
... A firm that produces external battery sources has a product that MBA owners might want to take a look at: the cleverly named QuickerTek MacBook Air External Battery and/ or Charger. The QMAEBC will set you back $350 but provides an extra 6 - 10 hours of battery life. That’s a lot of green but the company claims the battery pack will charge in 3 hours which is pretty respectable. It seems pretty severe but I have used external batteries in the past much bigger than this one and even though it detracts from the wireless atmosphere you can leave the battery in your backpack ...
