This doesn't look like a bad bit of kit. Please keep us informed of your opinion when you try it. I'd be interested in what you think of it as a power source and may consider getting one myself. From the specs that are mentioned, what would be your estimated on run time for ALTAIR EZ-1?
I currently get approx six and a half hours run time (with normal usage) from a 10,000 mAh NIMH battery pack. With this new battery power bank (12,000mAh) I am hoping to get up to around 8 hours run time.
