Battery pack

I used a Fuel 2600Ah charger for the portable battery. I bought it at a electronics store for $10. Upon use I realized that the output power was more than the input. Turns out that it was pushing 5.2V out while taking in only 5V. This means that if you plug in your pi while charging, eventually the battery will run out and shut down your pi. Thus I recommend getting a battery pack that is small (the cylinder design really worked nicely for me), and it has at least input and output.
One more thing. Get a battery pack that is not red! Instead purchase one with a less intrusive color such as blue or green, so that their is less of a chance of it being confused with a bomb.
