Using the hint previously posted in this thread, I was able to make my new Zagg Sparq charge my N900. It took a few tries. I think the trick is to plug the cable into the battery first, then to slowly insert the micro USB end into the N900.
I too was able to charge my N900, using an APC charger. The cable has to be plugged into the charger first, as suggested, but the trick for me is to plug it slowly, wiggling it up and down, instead of left and right. When the connector is midway through, pause for a while and wait for the charging message to appear.
Happy Energizer/XPal XP8000 user here. (8000mAh, not much bigger than N900, also can charge my laptop and my netbook)
It requires a custom cable to charge, like most non-nokia chargers.
I have the Brando USB adapter with charge/data switch, which works great for that !

That won't charge your N900. It's a 12V battery, not a 5V power pack.
It will charge it , if you search the forums you will find (there is a thread talking about 12v batteries and n900). You use car charger adapter and then a few changes and you are done.
I'm using the same device branded as AcmePower UC-1. Haven't yet found a suitable microusb charging cable/adapter for N900, but good to know it will work.

Ac Ryan Mobilit MT80328 , Amstron MedXP 66 , Wtop WT - L6600C seem to be the same rebranded 66WHr battery. Used as universal laptop battery charger , charged from any laptop battery and usb charging. They work with Nokia N900 with the ca-100 ca-146c adapters...
