No, but it wouldn't be a big achievement, although the 18v the Pad 
requires is a little high. The hardest thing would probably be finding 
the plug.

not a bad idea, either. A notebook sized thin battery wouldn't be any 
harder to carry around for me than the additional batt I have now..... 
Hmmph. Anyone want to make them and sell me one?
