I don't have an Ipad, but I see no reason why a 7.2ah battery could not do the job with your cigarette lighter adapter.

I have a small 500ma manual charger that I salvaged from another setup that I use to charge the battery. However, I have been looking at one of these for simpler charging.

I have not experimented with solar. If necessary, I plan to recharge the battery during the day with a Honda 4kw generator.
