Standalone battery charger for X200

Hi,

I have an X200s, with one 6-cell battery and also a 9-cell one, and I wondered if there existed a device that could charge one of those while I'm using the other, i.e. without it being in the laptop and/or Ultrabay.

Googling that hasn't given anything yet, this seems like a rare beast if it exists.
Where can I find one?

Thanks!

If you have the ultrabay, it has a battery charging connector on the side.

There is also the Thinkpad External Battery Charger 40y7625

Very pricey though... $119 on Lenovo.com and $115 on Newegg, and you have to have a Thinkpad AC adapter in additional to this charger in order to use it!

Yes. You asked if Lenovo had one. You did not ask if they had one for under $50. :)

Therefore, you might want to take this guy up on his offer of the x200 ultrabase, which comes with a battery charger on the side.
