OK I'll jump in. Check when they go on sale. If they aren't ask for the sale price. They work great on my MMDVMHost Raspberry Pi and my motorcycle. https://www.cyclegear.com/accessories/trackside-usb-outlet David -- Thanks, David "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one."

That's how I power my piGATE. 12v battery charged via solar with a nearly identical converter w/usb port.
Good luck OP

Ramesh,
If it were me, I would use a 7ah 12v backup battery with a "normal" 12v float charger, then use a buck converter to lower the voltage down to 5v. Something like this would do nicely: http://www.ebay.com/itm/262908222815
Using 12v storage makes things more "standard".
Just my 2c.
