I have been able to use the Coleman Igloo battery pack for 14+ hours. You plug in the auto power adapter into the cigarette lighter-type recepticle...weighs under 4lbs comes in a carrying case about the size of a 6 volt lantern battery. I forget the cost-- $30 perhaps?
If you don't have the auto power cord you can use an inverter from Walmart $30-40ish and use the yo-yo. The cabling can get awkward so take along the velcro cable ties! Be forewarned, you'll spend a lot of extra time in check-in. I kept all the electronics in a vinyl lunch bag for ease of inspection. On a note of bragging--Last year my son and I traveled around the world for 4 months. We used the G3 Lombard to stay in touch, play CD's, watch DVDs on beaches from Crete to Iceland to Japan and in between, stored 4 gigs of photos we took along the way. With the LifeView Tuner we caught some local TV programs as well. I left the spare battery at home and used the rental car for my main power source. We never found an internet cafe to burn a CD for backup. If I go again, I'll carry a small USB burner. Regards, Elton -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
