No, the batteries are the same. It's just marketing spin. To add to what bgazer said / linked. The batteries use 5x cells in series to get…

Hmmm, did some quick calcs. A car tire takes about 150 liters of air to pump it up to full pressure. The Ozito pump is rated for 12L/m max…

Yep – though they run the batteries in series. Higher voltage, same current. That means they get the same power but don't need to…

As far as I am aware, it only has two. So you would need to ditch the 2x8GB and install 2x16GB.

A good price but note that it's 5V (12W) only so no fast charging. And charging multiple devices will be very slow.

10 hours of video playback. That's about as expected for an older i5, and a 250 nit screen (probably set to half brightness).
