Trent iCruiser backup battery

[oakrrl]

anyone have experience with the Trent iCruiser? The IMP 1000 (11000 mAh) looks good, but a little pricey....recommendations?

(I'll be hiking several months in the Himalayas, cold & altitude will drain iPad battery fast, I'll need a backup....)

thanx!

Check out the new RichardSolo Portable Power Max. 16,000mAh for the same price. Enter "gadling" in the coupon code and get it for $67. I just ordered one myself the other day.

Mophie Power station is so much better!

In had a Richard Solo, complete garbage! Why would you need a flash light on a back up battery?

Want something with more power, then consider this!

Mophie juice pack powerstation

This 3600mAh external battery will charge a wide range of usb based mobile devices including the iPhone and iPad as well as most usb based smartphones out there at super-fast speeds.

This thing ROCKS for days!

More power? Check your math. 3600mAh < 16000mAh
Huge difference. Also, this new one is made by iSound. Just sold through Richard Solo and other retailers. Mophie is a good product as well, but the man needs more juice for his trip.

RichardSolo EXCELLENT

For readers of this thread....I read Krisjon's reviews after ordering a RichardSolo and thought I'd made a mistake. Then I checked out reader reviews of the Morphie: ALL the reviews I found were negative (Krisjon's excepted), saying it didn't charge iPad.

I received the RichardSolo, charged it, and (with trepidation) used it to charge an almost fully depleted iPad1. It charged it 100%, and still had half its charge left over. EXCELLENT!

I recommend the RichardSolo!

OP I understand you have already gotten your battery. I would have gotten the Hypermac external batteries. www.hypershop.com

For those reading, I've used a number of these products. The best I've found so far is the Zagg Sparq.

Glad you like it. I'm enjoying mine, too. Like I said, this new charger is sold by Richard Solo, but made by iSound and sold through other retailers as well. It's received good reviews from what i read before buying. I guess Richard Solo's old charger ( previous model) isn't as good. The new power max has A LOT of mAh capacity for the money. Pretty hard to beat at the moment.
