make your PT portable?!

[neo122112]

It may look a little silly, but has anyone thought of using a PT with one of those portable usb battery chargers? You could stick the batt in your pocket and walk around with a portable 5v PT. This one says it can charge at 1 amp for two hours. http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/31/sanyos-eneloop-stick-and-mobile-boosters-will-juice-your-gadget/

I don't believe it's strong enough to power a pt. IMHO, and experience you need at least a 1.5 amp output to power a pt

There used to be a lot of talk about using Kensington power packs.

I haven't seen much talk about that lately though.
Not sure why.

I think they quit making the Kensingtons (Best buy cleared them out a while back) though there are several other kinds that will work.

Chev said these worked great tekkeon tekcharge mp1800 (click to close the vacation notice window that may pop up over the product info).

It has two 18650's (regulated to 5.3 volts, 4,000 mAh), cable with six interchangeable adapters for various cell phones and other electronics and a pouch. Perfect for a USB passthrough. $37 with free shipping. Should blow clouds of vapor with a passthrough!

I can also vouch for Rob. I do the majority of business with Goodprophets.

Option 2 get a small inverter, then just use your AC adapter in vehicles too.
