A portable computer that uses multiple sub-batteries, that are the collective equivalent of one regular computer battery, that are serially connected to power a portable computer. The sub-batteries each contain a small number of battery cells and are connected to the main circuit board, or mother board, of the portable computer to supply power to the portable computer. An electric connecting means may be adapted for connecting two sub-batteries to the motherboard. The multiple sub-battery system allows a more flexible layout design for the installation of various internal components inside of the portable computer. Thus, the small sized battery seats can be placed in various, priorly unusable space, places. Now portions of the computer's battery system can be stored in the corners of the housing, or in narrow spots between other internal components.
