I've been reading about these so-called USB battery packs that charge from the PC's USB port but have several different connectors to mate with different appliances, and so far I haven't read a single bad review of any of them.
I do like your comments about the Sanyo batteries, might look into those specifically for use with the H4N, or for making an external battery pack of my own with a double set of them. Some intriguing possibilities present themselves here.
