Power pack recommendations?

[Scoot2Mtns]

I'm already working my Christmas list with wishes aligned with stuff for a long Spyder camping trip next spring. I've been looking at those power packs that can be used for a car jump or to power electronics. I have my cell phone and laptop that I want to use along the way.

Can I recharge the from the Spyder during my riding time?

Which brand of power pack do you recommend?

I leave my iPhone in the trunk connected to the audio in jack and it's always charged (don't use it on the road anyway unless it's the war department calling and I can answer through the GPS) and get my sounds through the GPS MP3. Unless you're back country camping most sites will have a place to charge a laptop. You could also charge it through the 12V outlet in the trunk but that might be a PITA depending on the size of the laptop which, IMO, moves a tablet to the top of the list if you have to travel with a computer. On transcontinental bicycle tours I relied on public libraries for computers; another opportunity to meet locals. YMMV.

I use this one (http://www.motocrossgiant.com/Lil_Lightning_Rescue_Pak_Ultra_Slim_Battery_p/12-6800.htm). You can recharge the pak while you are riding, it has a cig plug style plug in. We didn't have this last year when we were on our round the states trip. Whenever we encountered a camp ground with no electricity it became a real pain with trying to recharge electronics the next day. We did have a splitter we used in the trunk that helped a bit. Could have used a cig plug adapter plugged into the tender lead in the frunk, but we had that filled with our kitchen equipment.
