I saw a reference yesterday to an external battery pack for a PowerBook. It 
was a zinc-air battery and weighted six pounds, and gave 20 hours use.

It was manufactured by a company called AER Research or something similar, but 
no details were given. The item was dated November 1992 and the battery was 
supposed to be available early in 1993.

Does anyone know anything about this battery or the company concerned?
