I'm looking for a portable power back up that runs of a couple (even maybe 4) AA batteries, so that I can recharge my Garmin when out on a ride, any recommendations?
It doesn't need to be anything fancy, and small and compact is good. The one that I have spied is the Powerchimp - HERE
And I also spotted this on Amazon that gets good reviews - HERE

"You only need two tools: WD40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD40. If it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape"
I got a £2 battery usb charger from hong kong! Put any AA batteries it, plug usb cable to whatever and it sucks 'em dry. Pretty useful, also means you can just keep buying batteries while touring if you're dying for power.
