Battery pack for iPad/iPhone

[fredtgreco]

I have been looking around at external batteries to recharge iPads and iPhones. Zagg has their Sparq on sale for about $50. It is 6000mAh. There are others at Amazon for around the same price that appear to have more mAh. If someone has purchased something like this, I'd appreciate a recommendation.

I use a Powermat for my iPhone. It will fully charge my phone from 1% to 100%.

But will a Powermat work for the iPad?

I know that this precisely what you're asking about, but I saw this solar-powered charger for ipads and iphones the other day and thought it looked interesting.
