Ooh, I knew they had been testing it on specific planes, but I hadn't heard that it was fleet-wide now. Mind you, my last few trips to Oregon, I drove instead of flying -- I'll tend to do that for trips longer than two weeks.
I will have to remember to put the secondary battery into my laptop. (I have a "half-battery" that fits in the CD-ROM bay. With both the inboard and drive-bay battery, I can get as much as five hours battery life, and I've never been on an Alaska Airlines flight longer than that. I only wish I knew how to tell the computer to use the main battery first, then warn me as it swaps to the reserve battery. That would make it easier to swap in a spare main battery.
