    We are wondering if there is an external battery charger
    available/orderable for the Secondary battery on the recently announced
    HiNote VP laptops?
    
    There is a part number for a battery charger but from the reading I
    have done it appears to me as if this is for the main battery.  Or can
    it work for both?

|     The external charger DOES fit into the secondary battery and appears to
    function as a charger for it (at least the lights come on when I try
    it.)  The connector is on the side and is a bit of a loose fit with the
    charger's prongs.  I don't know if this is intended to work (or if it
    might damage the battery, though this seems unlikely to me.)
