A new Survey put out by the Mobile PC Extended Battery Life Working Group (which also likes extending industry working group names) says that laptop users would pay up to 20% more for longer battery life.

Over 1,200 notebook users were polled in the US, Japan, Germany, and China.

According to the study, users said the average laptop runs only on batteries about 25 percent of the time. The study also found that 60 percent of standard users—and 75 percent of heavy users—say they recharge their notebooks every chance they get.
