You can get SLA portable power packs for camcorders which have an automotive cigar lighter socket connectors for a very reasonable price, i.e. $50-60 for a pack that should run a Thinkpad for 6 or 7 hours. If I had an automotive adapter for my TP I'd probably buy one of these just to see how well it works in practice.

>I also like NiMH, too. So, what does Lithium Polymer have that Li-Ion doesn't?

Thinner, lighter, can be twisted into special shapes.
