As you'll see by reading the first few posts in the thread linked in my signature, the phrase "on the go and in case of power failures" covers a lot of ground. To chose a good solution we have to know if "on the go" means red-eye airplane flight, or climbing mountains, or car camping. And do "power failures" mean 5 minutes, 5 hours, or 5 days? With a bit more info we can guide you to a solution.
