Do you mean for a phone? If so, I always carry a IGo PowerXtender for emergencies...

A couple of AAs will give a Crackberry a little over half-charge. You need an extra tip for each type end, USB or otherwise.

actually I was thinking of something that will plug into a USB port and get charged; then you can charge your cell phone with it- no batteries

I would try rechargeable batteries in that unit Blir posted. I favor these:

The standard Crackberry data cable also charges if that's what you have.

If you opt for rechargeable batteries, get the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_self-discharge_NiMH_battery" target=_blank>Low Self Discharge</a> kind of NiMHs, like Sanyo Eneloops or Sony CycleEnergy. Duracell markets LSDs also (look for the ones with white tops, which are made by Sanyo).
LSDs have a slightly lower mAH rating (~2000 for AA), but as the name implies, it holds a charge longer.
