Edit: How about this one too, http://www.amazon.com/APC-PNOTEBX-US..._cr_pr_sims_t?
APC USB battery extender


Edit:
Using a USB charging cable "SIDO" ($5.99 from ebay), to charge from a laptop (an old PC) to N800 from a dead battery (wont boot, or shut down after showing a red battery icon, not the yellow one with exclaimation mark), 30 min charge while the tablet is showing the charging icon (i.e., the tablet is NOT on) gives 2 squares on the battery icon, like 50% juice. And the laptop is NOT plugged in. I have also tried a 2XAA battery charger using 2000 mAh recharging batteries, it wakes up a 770 from dead battery, but it cannot wake up a dead N800. Upon charging, it charges the N800 for ~1 min then it refuses to charge. So far, the only one that is giving consistent results, wake up the tablet and charging the tablet is charging via USB port of a notebook PC. Any comments? Old news? Sorry.....

bun, I'm not sure if this is responsive to what you're saying, but ...

At least if you're using fanoush's boot menu, you need to make sure you haven't selected that last option, the one about being off with no charger plugged in. I used that one the first time with my IOGear battery pack and it managed to drain the battery pack and at the same time not increase the charge in my N800.
