I would suggest you to use an external battery like:

You can roughly charge it within the 3 hours of daily power supply.

Capacity is 58 Wh. My smartphone battery capacity is 5 Wh. Even with 
continuous GPS use, I don't flush the battery some many times. More 
recent devices may use less power.

If you have devices with LR06/AA batteries, buy a fast (1 hour) charger. 
It is not good for your batteries lifetime but so useful.
