Does anybody know a good portable chargers that you can feed some AAs or ones with their own battery that you can charge?

I am talking about something similar to this:

ThinkGeek :: Turbocell Charger

If anybody has any expierence concerning these, let me know which ones are good and which you would suggest =)

lol! that thing is huge, and awesome - alas it may be too big to toss in my messenger bag. Yet, it is really really cool. I think I may get it anyway - it would be pretty nice for a camping trip to say the least. Thanks for that link!

You don't happen to know something similar, just smaller?

Well I like this one: Amazon.com: JUST MOBILE GUM PRO POWER PACK HIGH CAPACITY 4400 MAH USB: Electronics

It's a bit more expensive, but much smaller, chargeable, and has a gauge.

If you have the know-how and some soldering experience, you can get a MintyBoost kit. They're very nice looking, cheap, and they're designed to be built into those tiny Altoid gum tins (that gum is disgusting, by the way).

Minty Boost! - USB charger for your gadgets

Unless you know how to etch circuit boards and are insane enough to WANT to do one when there's a perfectly good pre-etched one available to you for a few more bucks, get the pre-etched version.

That minty-boost thing is great. I think that would make for a hell of a conversation starter...
