While there are many new notebooks on the market that offers all day battery life, this don't help you if you're not in the market for a new notebook. However, don't leave the old book behind on your next trip just yet. You can squeeze a lot of extra juice out of that notebook battery if you take advantage of following 8 tips we discovered during those trans-pacific flights. The best tip that is not part of the eight? Seat in first class - they have AC plugs so you don't have to worry about running out of juice. If you can't get first class, then the following tips will come in handy the next time you have a cross county flight.
