Here is a battery-powered hub which used 4x AAAs: link

However, for maximum portability I'd like to pair a small NIHM or Li-Ion/Polymer battery with this tiny USB hub: link (it is sold under many different brands at various retail stores). Even better would be if somehow a charger IC could be wired up to the battery and hub, communicating with the host via USB itself. The charger IC would ideally give charge/discharge status to the host, allowing it to unmount/disable/power down USB devices depending on battery status and usage. Unfortunately, I have no qualifications to take on this task. Anyone else?
