There are some new models out with special extra long life batteries that are supposed to last up to 9-1/2 hours. It is my sense, though, that the battery life estimates are under “ideal conditions,” which usually means no wireless…not very realistic.

The real answer, I think, is that you are unlikely to find a laptop battery that will last the whole school day. While some schools arrange to have extra batteries, I think the most feasible answer is better access to power. See http://www.k12handhelds.com/blog/?p=425 for an idea that has worked well.

Thanks!
