I think I might have bought it at Radio Shack but places like Home Depot carry them.  Mine plugs into the cigarette lighter socket and I store it under the seat.

If you live where there are frequent power outages, it could be sensible to keep a good-sized backup battery fully charged.  It could be used every day as a power conditioner for a laptop or desktop, then when the power grid fails, it could be used only to feed the iPad or iPhone.

How can I figure out how much backup capacity would give you me much iPad time?  Must be a simple equation, but I'm clueless.

I was talking about using an iPad as the hotspot.

I have a MiFi from AT&T that will handle 10 devices at a time. $30 a month for 5G added to my bill. I could have done it with my iPhone but would have lost my grandfathering for unlimited data. I love it and take it out when I want to use my iPad, which is often. It is about the size of an iPhone. So far I have only powered 5 at a time.

If you are considering a backup battery you need to evaluate if you are the type of person who will keep it charged (I will forget) or have a automatic system in place. My experience with hurricanes is that I just charge things in my car. I have been tempted to set up my Prius so it can charge my house.

Our power outages have historically occurred on 3 occasions:
Blizzards/ice storms, hurricanes, severe thunderstorms.

In general the next day is clear and sunny, and often the same day, within hours of the event.

What is the button above the volume buttons?  The button you slide to cover the orange dot or not.   I can't find anything on it and can't seem to see that is does anything when in either position.   Thanks
