[ltp] auxiliary battery packs for A/T/X series

[Brian Beattie]

A while back, there was some discussion of auxiliary battery packs. The
little reasearch I have seen indicates that some of this packs may be
unregulated, meaning that the output of the battery pack is the raw
battery voltage.

This has lead me to wonder, what the requirements for the DC power input
of the thinkpads are and if it would be possible to use a battery pack
made up of disposable cells (D or C cell alkaline for instance) by using
say 12 cells to cover Alkaline and NiMH, 18V - 15V nom.
