I found this deal on Amazon for a Motorola power pack. The power pack has a 3000 mah capacity. The power pack also has a USB cable let built in. For $9.99 + free shipping I figured it was a good deal.
Here is the link:

okay well i had purchased a PhoneSuit Primo Power Core portable charger when i had an iPhone 4. the website states that its compatible with Android devices seeing how they sent me the mini usb adapter along with other adapters with it. i have used it on my old Galaxy Tab and it tended to charge slow. now when i hook up my TB with it, it charges EXTREMELY slow. the site states it has enough power to charge Android devices 4-5 times yet the Power Core seems to lose a lot of juice while its charging my TB. it takes a long time to even charge one percent compared to a wall outlet charger. i thought it might be the cable so i tried the OEM cable that came with the TB and same thing. does anyone know what the problem may be? any suggestions? i paid $100 for this thing when i had an iPhone. i wont want this to be useless to me now
here are the specs so no need to go to the site:
Primo Power Core Specifcations

any help please?
Has anyone found a portable Battery pack that we can use on the TF? I have several that I have used for my iPhone and my old iPad2 but all are only 5v. is there one out there that can charge out TF or is the keyboard dock the only way to go for extra Battery?
There are several battery packs used for notebook computers that will work listed on Amazon. Just be sure they have a 12Volt output. EverReady had as battery pack that will also work but you will need an adapter provided by them. The key is that you need an output of 12 to 15 volts to charge the TF or Keyboard. You might read Devcake's post on a DIY charger for the TF as information on the voltages required to charge the TF. There is also a post on external batteries that might help.

By chance do you have a link to the EverReady battery pack? I would like to see it

I have an XP8000 from Energizer, and work perfectly.
w w w.energizerpowerpacks.com/us/products/xp8000/
You will need a conector for Asus (Willy cable WI15) from them. You will have two free tips a year for the life of product
By any chance do you know the tip number?
The cable you note doesn't appear to connect directly to the Transformer.
What setup are you using to connect to the Transformer?
Thanks
steve
The cable it's a Female USB with 16V output. You need the Asus cable.

I just saw this while I'm looking for a battery pack.
On a german page I found this interesting:
w w w.intecro.de/XTPower-MP-16000-Powerbank-mobiler-Akku-mit-16000mAh-fuer-Laptop-Handy-iPhone-iPod-iPad-PDA-MP3-Player-mit-20-Adaptern
(can'f find an english page for this product)
Could I use this one by using an adapter?
I just got an Anker Astro3 10000mAh battery pack. I plan to use it while camping this summer, mainly to charge a phone, but occasionally to charge my tablet.
It is intended to charge 5V USB devices, and has two USB ports. It also has a 12 volt port. The adapters for the 12 volt port, of course, do not work with USB or the Transformer. So I made an adapter, and I am good to go now for charging the tablet.
The battery pack charges from a 12 volt wall charger. I have also made an adapter to charge it from the 12 volts on my motorcycle. So I will be charging it from the motorcycle during the day when riding, then using it to charge my devices in the evening at the camp. I've already tried it a couple of times, and it worked well.
I tried to charge the battery pack using a solar panel, but the solar panel was far too wimpy. It was like trying to run a house air conditioner from a penlight battery. It may make you feel good to try it, but it isn't going to do much.
So far so good. This is very close to what I need.
The issues I have had to work around are:
1) I want to also charge an in helmet bluetooth intercom from the USB port. But the charge current is so low, the battery pack auto powers off, thinking nothing is plugged in. Not a big deal because I can plug in my phone at the same time. That keeps it turned on until everything is charged, then it auto shuts down.
2) When I charge the Asus Tablet, it doesn't appear to auto shut down. Just the opposite of #1, it looks like the load stays high enough to never shut down when charging the tablet. This may not really be true, as I have only tried it a couple of times. Also, it isn't good for much more then one and a half charges of the tablet, as expected.
3) You need to figure out your own harness to get the 12 volts to the tablet.
4) No charge cable for a car. I mean this is rated for an input of like 10 to 15 volts, or some such. This thing is GREAT for charging portable devices. Charging it from a car is as simple as a cable, but there isn't one.
Over all this charger is a winner. At right around $55 US, I recommend it, if you can fabricate a plug for charging the Transformer.
Try a 12V UPS type battery along with a 2A fuse and adapters. It only costs about $20 or so. Plan on using only 50% of its capacity and recharge often to get the most life out of it.
Someone posted this product on another post

May suit your needs

For me, this is actually what I use now. But it has issues.
One is simply that it is large. I carry it in the trailer that I tow behind the motorcycle, so it is OK, but a bit too large and heavy. It is a gel cell that has about a 48 WattHr capacity. LiIon has a a lot less and weight. In this case, it has about the same capacity, in a very small light weight package.
The other problem is charging the lead acid battery is an issue. I need to carry a AC charger and find AC when camping. I put a diode/resistor combo in the trailer and tapped off of the taillights. but by the time the weak motorcycle voltage gets to the taillights, add in the diode and other losses, and I'm lucky to see 13 volts at the battery. Not enough to charge it very well. The LiIon pack I use has the supply built in to charge properly from +12.
So I've tossed the lead brick battery (literally) and upgraded to a portable LiIon pack. So far so good.
This is what I use "Portable 12V DC USB 5V Rechargeable Lithium Li-ion Battery Pack for CCTV Camera" search on ebay, you can get one up to 13AH
I got a 3.8AH version for $16 , Dimension: 9.2cm X 6.0cm X 3.0cm
Outout rated 5V (5.8AH) and 12.8V (3.8AH)
small modification because the charger is NON-US wall plug, I just pull the plug pin out and add in a regular power cord cut off from an old appliance
Keep the USB plug for 5V use, cut the 12V DC cable and connect it to a female USB cable (pin 1 and pin 4) , then you can plug in the Asus usb/charge cable directly and charge or power the Asus
...
Could you please give me your opinion on which one you would get for reliability and performance? I personally do not like the hump look on my galaxy note and rather have an extra batteries or power bank when I can't find an AC outlet and for travel. I've narrowed my choice to the following (can't post links; too little post):
Hyperion Samsung Galaxy Note 2 x Battery + Charger [amazon - $19.99]
Anker® 2x2700mAh Li-ion Battery For Samsung Galaxy Note Batteries for AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note + Anker USB Travel Charger [amazon - $24.99]
New Trent IMP120D iCarrier 12000mAh Heavy Duty 2A/1A Dual USB Ports External Battery Pack [amazon - $76.95]
Extra batteries are the best method I've found ...as you can store 2 or 3 in a pocket ....then charge later when you get to a power supply ...g
Extra batteries without a doubt, I have 3 extras so at least 2 are always charged in case of emergency. Very cheap too
I use a solar powered battery backup/charger, got it for only $18 and it already saved me a bunch. Not sure if I'm allowed to post the link though, google search "Solar Powered Backup Battery And Charger"
I have the anker 2 2500ma + charger kit off amazon. Works great. 1 caveat though. The wear and tear on battery cover from.removing the back will eventually wear out the tabs that lock it in place. I have already went through one of the flip cover cases because of this. Currently using the stock cover and notice oonly a little wear at this time.
I have this and love it. http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/detail.jsp?skuId=3386191&pid=1218397307007
Charges a phone and has a 2.1 amp port for a tablet. Holds 6600 mah of power so it will charge the note 2.5+ times.

I decided to get the New Trent iGeek IMP99D 9900mAh External Battery Pack with free New Trent 5200mAh. It was on special on Amazon. It seemed to be the best for portability and convenience. Had the charger came with the ability to charge 2/3 batteries simultaneously, I would have gone with the extra batteries. I rather plug once over night and be done charging next morning instead of standing by to complete charging and swapping each batteries.

Test results:
Using 2 Amp USB port - 25% to 99% charge took just 5 hours 7 minutes.
Using 1 Amp USB port - 14% to 100% charge took 4 hours and 42 minutes.
Using Samsung supplied charger/cable - 21% to 95% took 2 hours 7 minutes.
Conclusions:
1. No difference in charge rate using 1 Amp vs 2 Amp USB port.
2. Battery pack takes twice as long to charge than the wall charger.
3. 9900mAh gaurantees at least two full charges.
So is this what I shoud typically expect from a 9900 mAh external power pack? Please share your experience. Is there a way to increase my charge rate using the battery pack?
Anyone has this power bank?
If yes, how do you find it with Nexus 6? I meant the charging speed.
This is quite small power bank that has quick charge 2.0 support.
I think it's the smallest in the world, at least for now.
http://www.amazon.com/Quick-Charge-Anker-PowerCore-10050/dp/B013HSQXZC
It also can be fast charged using quick charge wall charger.
I don't like big bulky power bank.
Nice! I wanna buy it.
I've bought 2 different QC power banks:
AIDEAZ Power Bank 20000mAh Portable Charger

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01JIYWUBA/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_Q997Cb1HQ367J
NONE of them fast charge my S9+ even though when I use the wall charger it fast charges. I even have a USB power meter to confirm that these power banks are only outputting 5V 1A.
I don't get it, works with wall charger, but not with power bank.. Anyone else have this issue, or can recommend a power bank that actually does fast charge?
SO FRUSTRATING!

Yeah, I don't get it. I thought it was just my phone, but then I tried my friends with the same result. Maybe it's got something to do with the carrier software? But I'm on Bell and my friend's on Rogers, so unless it's a Canadian thing.. weird.
