For all the news about new mobile gadgets, it seems news and info on external battery packs are neglected. I’m about to go backpacking around the world with a Fujitsu U810 and I’m having a hard time finding info on the best choice to purchase to go with it. There is such a variety of choices in size, weight, capacity and features that it’s very confusing. In the end I think I will choose the Tekkeon MP3450 however it would be nice to see some more real life reviews and even better would be a comparison between 4 or 5 different solutions for powering netbooks and UMPCs.

2nd vote for the batterygeek external batteries. They work great and can switch between many different voltages – I used mine on a recent trip to power my laptop, portable dvd player, and e-book (one at a time).

Don’t get the Electrovaya batteries. While they are initially excellent, if you don’t constantly charge them they go dead. I went through two of their (expensive) PowerPads before giving up on them.

While I love to use these with my eeePC the power pack I have is only switchable between 16V or 19V output.

whereas my eeePC 901 requires a 12V input…

I’m sorry Luscios, I don’t follow. What comment?

Thanks for taking my comment James! Wanna share the kudos?

If you take the external powerpack plus its charger it usually can replace your laptop power brick too, adding some weight but taking some away too! I’m using the Tekkeon MP3450.

I have the batterygeek external battery pack. It is one of my ‘must have’ devices when I travel. Just this year I’ve flown from South Africa to Israel, Argentina, Uruguay, Hong Kong, London, Kenya and Uganda… It’s a busy life! But, with the external battery I can work on long flights, or work a whole day without needing to be near a power adaptor.

Mine is used with both a Sony Vaio UX180 and my Macbook Air (batterygeek sell a magsafe adaptor that will power the Air or Macbook / Macbook Pro, but not charge it). I get about 10 hours of use with my Air, and about 15 hours of use with the Vaio.

Another benefit is that it serves as a backup power supply if my power supply should ever die while traveling.

It’s worth the extra weight, and I have never had any problems with airport security.

I’ve flown with a Tekkeon battery pack in my carry-on without issues. It shouldn’t be a problem at all.

I have no problems carrying my Tekkeon external battery through airports. The bag that contains my Wibrain and Tekkeon rarely gets a second look, certainly not at major airports.

@MarceloR:

I actually just took a trip to the West Coast and I had my Power Gorilla with me (I actually also got the Solar Gorilla which is the solar charging component to the system) in my laptop bag. I went through airport security just fine. I don’t imagine why there would/or should be any increased hassles, this thing looks just like a regular portable battery pack.

In the old days (before 9/11) I used to carry one of these on vacation. Now I fear some thing like that will be a cause of increased hassles when flying by air. Anyone now flying with one of these?
