Best GBA Rechargeable Battery Pack?
I'm finally going to break down and buy a rechargeable battery pack for my GBA if there are some good ones out there - what do you use and recommend? Pictures/Full Product Names/Best Prices you've found are all welcome too 
I've personally been leaning towards the "PELICAN GBA POWER GRIP," as I bought the Power Grip for the GBC and was extremely satisfied, but I have yet to find any product reviews for it.

I have used the power grip, and I really like it, my hands are pretty big so it makes the GBA much more comfortable. the battery pack seems to last a good 6 hours or so even with the light hooked up to it.

the best rechargable battery pack is the PowerPak from interact. it sticks out like a ten pound tumor, has a charging cradle with no LED to tell me whether the battery is on correctly, makes the GBA heavier. Why, you ask, is this such a good battery pack. because i got it at target for five bucks. on the plus side it does have pretty good charge and can function as an AC adaptor as well.

if not this then the Charger that pelican has that you can get a walmart. it has two battery packs. lasts a long time. only bulges out very slightly with the included battery cover. you can charge it by slipping the whole GBA in a slot while it charges the other battery in the back. the only hold back is the price. about 18 clams.

Best battery pack is the official Nintendo one. It fits flush in the system so you don't have to leave the battery cover off or anything, comes with a nice compact charger, and the battery comes with a plastic cover case. Works well with the LED indicator on the system. Only catch is, it's currently only available in Japan so you'll have to import it from NCS or Tronix.
