in the remote power thread there is a lot of speculation and theory.
What i want to know is people that have actually tried different portable power solutions and which ones work and which ones dont.

I'm using this: http://www.vectormfg.com/catalog/vec010s-startit-compact-elite-jumpstart-system-p-357.html. Not small, but powers my router for hours.

i ran down to my local radio shack and picked up a 9v universal dvd battery.
the kicker is everybody says different things about voltage regulation, but i'm going to assume that the car charger that came with the kr1 has a voltage regulator in it, so also at radio shack i picked up one of their universal tips that would fit the out connector, the wires and connector that go along with it and a female lighter plug, then i attatched the wires to the lighter socket and plugged the kr1 into that.
works very well, everything worked perfect for me.

The auto adapter that comes with the KR1 regulates to the required 5V needed by the KR1. Use it with 9V on up to 14V+. Using a 9V NUON Li-Ion 'DVD Battery Pack' connected to the auto adapter that is included with the KR1, I get run times easily over 8 hours. Heavier transmitting (sending large files) will generally shorten run times.

I'm confused...please help me out...I have the NUON 9v...now how do I connect to the KR1 using the included auto adapter?

I bought a black version of that one from the UK for use with a Sony PSP; I can get 10 hours of use. If the device you are using uses the same power of a PSP then with two you should get a full days use out of it.

The place I bought it from was marketing it originally as an external iPod battery.

I would consider getting their 44Wh (Watt-Hour) version.

You would need to buy or build an adapter cable with cigarette lighter socket to 4mm X 1.5mm barrel plug. That would allow you to use the auto adapter that comes with the KR1.

We have tried all of the portable power solution in these threads.

The smallest, cheapest and best is the PM85-22 or PM85-44 from http://bixnet.com/baacpoad.html

We have arranged for a 10% discount for people that read this thread.

Just enter the code 'kr1router' during check out for your discount. You will receive a revised invoice by email.

You will have to configure the pack for +5V and select the proper tip.

We recommend the PM85-44. The kr1 requires ~5V@1A = 5W, so it will operate for 44Wh/5W ~ 8 hours. It also has a 12V@2A = 24W charger so you can charge during operation. The PM85-22 will operate for 4 hours but the charger is only 12V@0.5A= 6W. You can charge during operation but it will take a very long time.
