It's not as big of a fail as having to PLUG THE THING IN for HOURS when you need to charge it. I have spare batteries, an external charger and a Mugen battery. When I am leaving the house I switch out the Mugen battery. It takes 10 seconds to swap batteries. Plugging in your device to charge it means it is NOT a mobile computer while you charge it.
Haha, I obviously didn't mean that. But I guess I could have phrased it as an external battery charger instead e.g these

I think carrying around one of those things is much clunkier than carrying an extra charged battery or using an ugly Mugen battery.

Solar chargers are fun, though. For in the car or on the backpack.

Certain AA batteries keep their charge for a year which can be quite useful if you only need it for emergency use once in a while.

Btw, the first 60% charges quite fast, and the last 5% takes almost forever. Short top-ups whenever possible helps more than you might think. Obviously only applies to te high power wall carger and high power DC-10 car charger, usb from a pc is slow nomatter what ;-)

And yes we've already debunked that one.

Folks, no magic here. Your battery needs mass(~volume) to store electrochemical energy. Without a change in technology, there's no putting more in the same space and mass.

Edit: Oops, that's what happens when you start a post and get distracted by your roommate for 30 minutes.

I think this is a very nice option on long bus trips.
