Here's a link to a new "high tech" battery backup product for USB powered, mobile devices. With an auxilary USB port in the RAV4 EV, I think this would be a good accessory to have in the car for cell phone and/or laptop users constantly on the go. I like the level of built-in information provided by this device on its OLED display. Most other similar products only have a few LED status lights and nothing as sophisticated as a uP based monitoring system to tell you about battery capacity and what not. According to this website's FAQ, it can remain in storage for up to 6 months and still hold a charge. The only other time I feel the symptoms of "range anxiety" is when I am traveling out of town with my cell phone, and know I am about to run out of "juice". I only wish the RAV EV has anywhere near as much detailed instrumentation about its onboard battery pack.
