I need an External Battery Pack / Charger

[HES]

I spend a lot of time in the outdoors camping, hunting, and what not. I can go for days with out being near a power source. So I am in the market for an external battery pack / charger. Has any one had any success with one or can they recommend one? Bonus points if anyone knows of one that I can connect to a photovoltaic (solar) panel so that during the day I can charge the battery pack and at night charge my Rezound.

No bonus points for me but I do have a good charger. I use the PowerGen Mobile Juice Pack. Its like $20 from Amazon. Works great!!!

My suggestion, grab the extended battery and turn everything except for the 1x radio off. Your battery should keep for a good long while even without charging. And as long as your solar charger kicks out 2a, you should be good.

I have the Anker Astro 5600mAh and love it. I also turn stuff off like others. But I refuse to put that fat extended battery on my phone. You just need to check the output voltage and rate on your solar charger.

I prefer this from amazon
2 batteries with a charger (not solar)
batteries as good as stock

Laza Zcell 1620mah HTC Rezound 2x Battery + Charger + Travel Case Combo

The review I did on the New Trent IMP99D

This New Trent was able to recharge my old Droid Razr 4 and a half times. The Droid Razr has a slightly larger battery than the Rezound, so I would assume you could expect 4.5 to 5 full charges of your Rezound with a fully charged up IMP99D.

5v/1a is all you need. Actually, 500ma is the absolute minimum, but might not give enough charge if say you are using gps. I used the 5v/2a charger from my touchpad, and it only took in an amp anyways.

I ordered the Moto P983 from VZ, because I have business trip coming up. It has 1860 mah, should give me one full charge. I almost ordered the Anker Astro, but I had never heard of it so I went with a brand I knew.

Let us know what you decide.

I have two New Trents. one is the imp70d, the other is a imp500.

have used both. love them. the imp70D is more convenient because it charges via a microUSB port so less cables to worry about.

have charged my zune while camping, droidx, and recently the rezound while on a plane trip.

check the reviews on amazon. fantastic products.

I have the "Anker Slim External Battery" (2700mAh, I think?). It's on Amazon. Only about $27. Has a retractable/self-storing charging cord. Great bang for the buck. Very slim. Slides into your pocket easily, even while connected to your phone. Has a built-in LED flashlight. Charges phone very quickly. Very handy for travel.

I would like to recommend the RAVPower 5200mAh. It works well with my Galaxy S2. I bring it everytime when I was on trip.
There's seven different connectors, which can charge different types of cellphones. You can get one for $27.99 on Amazon.
