Consider a battery pack? I have a Bluetti K2 and get far more hours running heavy workloads than people report on M1. It's never bothered me carrying it around, though some might care I guess.

My only regret is that it's slightly over the amount that is legal on planes in most jurisdictions.

Guessing using two smaller capacity battery packs instead isn't workable?

The KWh limit on planes is a total amount, not individual device, I guess you can split it up amongst people if you want to.

Gotten so much mileage out of this laptop battery, especially on long distance trains, but it's a no go on planes by being so slightly over the limit.
