Now that I've been powering my Pi with a battery for a reasonable amount of time (since early January), I'm just reviewing in my mind as to how I feel about the practicality of the whole thing.
I bought an EC Technology 18000mAh battery supply, which has 2 USB outputs. I don't think this particular model is available any longer but it has performed well from the word go. The Pi uses so little power that I don't believe I'm getting any loss of performance from running the power pack down before it's charged back up to full capacity once again.
For me, it's been a faultless and trouble-free source of power from the start and continues to be so. Even if it dies, the cost of a suitable replacement is so little as to be insignificant. I don't feel any inclination whatsoever to spend any more money on a more 'hi-fi psu'. Why would I?
Just wondering what others using battery packs have found over the longer term?
