Default External battery pack recommendations?

Has anybody had a good experience with a portable external battery back which they would recommend for the 7.0 plus?

Great question...

I have a New Trent IMP-500 that has worked fantastic for me with every USB charging device I've plugged into it... Until I got the Galaxy Tab. The Tab will not charge on this battery.

Here is my video review of the New Trent IMP99D. Works great on Tablets. You just use the charger cord that came with your Galaxy tab 7.0 plus.

I use the RAVPower rp-pb03 5600mAh external battery charger for 2 months, Performs great! 7 DC tips was provided enable you to charge most cell phones and other mobile devices. Small but Powerful and convenient.

I build a foldable triple 7" solar panel with battery pack and usb output myself for my travels and camping in australia. Lasts over night. I love it, feels funny to suck energy just by a small amount of sunlight
150 bugs at all.

Default I highly recommend the Newtrent units

We have a few floating around the house. The newer ones charge via MicroUSB so there's no extra wallwart to misplace, and you can get the Samsung adapters from Dealextreme (as mentioned) or from Newtrent. I second the IMP500 recommendation - nice and compact, and even has an included LED flashlight and laser pointer. It's my cat's favorite toy.

Cool. I bet some of us would be interested in some instructions on how to put that setup together. Parts, cost, etc.
