I can recommend this usb powerbank, it can recharge while still powering the pi (and its a wifi router as well).

Higher capacity powerbanks are also available.

FWIW, my initial tests suggest that this one could be quite useful for "longer" run-times (several hours?):

Virtually any of the "powerbanks" that provide 5 volts on a USB connector can be used to power an RPi. How long they will run for depends on the capacity of the power bank, the RPi model and what peripherals are being used.
