Default Extra battery for the Galaxy Tab

Hi,

Do you have an external battery for the Galaxy Tab? I was thinking of getting this one:

What do you guys think?

It looks good and the price is attractive

I bought a similar battery 6-8 months ago for my laptop and it can also charge my psp, phones, pretty much everything

However, only buy it if you have a real use for it, such as travelling a lot ^^

Just keep in mind that at 750mA output, it won't charge the Tab while the Tab is in use. It'll spread the drain a bit, you will get more time out of the device, but it's not ideal.

Which one do you think would be a good solution? Is 1A output enough? Or maybe there is someone that could recommend a specific battery..?
I wil have to tavel a lot the next few months with lots of time spent in the airport waiting for connecting flights.

It doesn't *need* 2A output - it just charges so much faster with it.

My MiniGorilla battery can charge my Tab, but does so very slowly and indeed works better if the Tab is off.

But does the battery handle the running tab? I mean does the battery of the tab discharge when it is on and used, while connected to the battery?

This one doesn't look half-bad, specs wise:

1.5A output is nice. Sadly, doesn't look like it comes with a car charger adapter for itself as well.

I've not really test it whilst using the Tab. I'll give it a try at some point.

Indeed not bad.

And, foxmeister, I am curious of the outcome if you test this with the tab running.
