  It would be possible but you are dreaming if you want 10 hours out of 
laptop batteries, might as well use the AC adapter or a car lighter 
adapter. Not even new laptops can go 10 hours on a charge. Remember 
these batteries have a limited life the chemicals inside break down and 
can not recover unless replaced with new chemicals. Simple chemistry and 
physics. I looked at the site, it is nothing but a big battery, kind of 
like sliming down your car battery and carry it with you. It is 
basically a large portable Lithium-ion battery. I think it would be 
cheaper to find a auto adapter for your PowerBook unless you fly a lot 
then a portable powersupply might help.
