*Being confused* Batteries with a capacity of more than 50 Wh are
quite common (my Dell has a 9-cell battery with 68 Wh).

Or do you mean a charging/discharging rate of 50W? That would indeed
be abnormally high for laptops (I guess even the biggest 17" monster
not-quite-lap-tops will swallow at most 30W).
