I have a customer who's looking for a notebook with two battery slots. Is this possible, and what brands most commonly have them?

First off, you'll be looking into business lines.
Second, most have a second battery as an option that attaches to the bottom of the laptop, rather than in place of an optical drive.
You might be able to find a few that you can swap out the optical drive in place of a battery, but that's becoming a less popular option these days. Latitudes should have the option, but EliteBooks have slung under batteries. I think Thinkpads do as well. They're referred to as slice batteries, and will raise the unit up from sitting level.
Waaaaaaay back, I bought a Dell d820 that had an option of a battery to fit where the DVD drive would go in. I'm sure they still have business models like that too nowadays.
