I want a bigger battery pack on my touring bike. Does anyone know of any battery packs that will support 4 AA's, and also have female USB port for charging other devices, but also accept a USB-IN for charging off rechargable AA's off my dynamo port?

Thanks!

I wonder if there isn't a way to up-mod the minty-boost with extra batteries (4 v. 2) and also the ability to be charged by a USB-in.
