I found some Duracell backup packs at COSTCO: Two in a package for under $20. They use two AA batteries (first set included) and have a cord for iPhone and another for a Motorola-type mini-usb unit. Electronics boost the voltage from the series batteries to give the right charge voltage for an Li-Ion battery.

Here's a link to a descripton:

Here's a link to the Kensington model:

It looks like a good device. Plus is that it has a built-in Li-Ion-Poly battery with more capacity than two Alkaline AAs. Downside is you must recharge it between uses (with the Duracell model, just put in a new pair of AAs).

Looking further there are some reviews here

which are not encouraging.

Thanks for the info! Looks like a nice unit, and similar in design concept to the Kensington model. Apparently there are a variety of these rechargers -- which I didn't know until this thread.
