If I haven't posted by the weekend then someone PM me with a link to this thread and I'll get it sorted.

I have briefly tested the PowerMonkey with the n900 and confirmed that it does (at least initially) charge the n900, whereas the 'el cheapo' external battery I have doesn't.
I'll do a more thorough test over the next couple of days and use the PM exclusively to charge the n900 and see how it goes.

Yea, I guess it would depend on the voltage the external bat supplies as well as how well it holds that threshold voltage under load and over time. The PM provides 5.5V if I remember correctly, anything supplying 5 to about 5.5 volts under load should be ok.

I just ordered the following:

4400 mAh should easily cover any long haul flights

Rest of the time I have a charged spare battery in my pocket and just swap when required. Never managed to drain both in a day though.
I found the ZaggSparq

and then there's also Nokia's small device with 1500mah
