Gena,
I bought a couple of phone rechargers, they are metal tubes, and each puts 
out the typical USB power.
Any USB source will work.

Subject: [raspberry-vi] Making a Pi a portable device


Hello,

I noticed that someone wants to make their Pi a portable device. I wondered 
if they had some tips from their experience?

Is there a battery that can be purchased specifically for the Pi, or do you 
have to mess with a sldering iron?

What housing is being used?

Can we buy a braille keyboard and get the translation software? Such as that 
used on the icon?

I see I am in luck, as one of the bluetooth dongles I have appear to be 
compatible with the accessible arch distro. Or at least the output of lsusb 
shows it. I just have to read up on the steps on getting it up and working.
