I bolded what I wanted. That is not what I want (though I do want it, I'll see if I can find an equivalent in the Philippines for a good price).

That really isn't much smller then a regular laptop battery most are around the 4400-5200mAh. Oly the more expensive laptops that are larger have say 6000-8000mAh and generlaly they are a bulky design.

The difference is that they are typically at a higher voltage. For instance, I pulled a battery out of my mom's three year-old laptop.

6.2" Switch with (rumored) : 4.31 Amp-hours at 3.7 V*  = 15.95 Watt-hours

Mom's 11" laptop with 3 hour battery life : 3.35 Amp-hours at 10.8 V = 36 Watt-hours (rated)

You know, if power = voltage*current, then it follows that energy = voltage*charge. I know that I am technically wrong, because I don't want to have to walk you through the calculations necessary. Because, well, integrals.

* - what you should expect from batteries that can be charged from USB power

How bad is the price over there so far? I mean the Switch.
