Portable Chargers:

 

DJunkie Power Bar      Small Power Bar. Sold under various brands in local stores.

 

Limefuel                          Large and robust charger.

 

 

 

PDA:

 

RPDA 696                       My favorite PDA. An Asus Mypal 696 repackaged into a ruggedized case by a German company.
The optional 3Ah battery lasts for several days.

 

HP iPAQ 114                   Cheap and small. The only drawback is the relatively short battery lifetime.

                                           There are larger batteries available:

                                           CS-HIQ100XL (2250mAh)

                                           CS-RX4000XL (2400mAh)

 

TDS Recon                     Robust and reliable but expensive outdoor PDAs.

Juniper Archer

 

 

 

Covers:

 

PalmCase micro            The perfect case for the iPAQ 114!  Fits well with original or large batteries.

 

Otterbox                          Robust and perfectly waterproof. Cannot be used with the iPaq 114 and others which have the on/off switch on the side of the device. Good for older PDAs.

 

Aquapac                          Cheap and proven. Attaches smoothly to the screen and allows easy drawing. Good and economical solution for the iPAQ 114.

 

Dräcksack                      Protective covers for anything used in cave. Made by a Swiss caver from second hand materials. Special padded bags for Distos and PDAs are available.
