Hi,
I need to power my HTC Desire cell phone for 4-5 hours on high load (running GPS navigation software on max screen brightness in an aircraft), so I'm looking into external battery packs.
I want to avoid buying something too weak which will struggle to deliver enough power.
The internal battery says: 3.7V --- 1400 mAh 5.18 Whr
The AC adapter's output says: 5V --- 1A
So I should ideally get a battery that can deliver 5 watts, yes?
I've been looking at:

and
http://luckypacks.com/EXTERNAL-IPHONE-4-3G-3GS-BATTERY-I-UP-5400-LP5400-5400-mAh-p5.html
The first battery's specs says "5V" and "2A (max)", but I suppose that doesn't necessary guarantee 2A @ 5V! Is it possible to determine in advance whether these batteries have enough oomph for the job?
