Would it be possible to use a portable power unit to plug into the usb to maintain a charge whilst changing the batteries so as not to loose the configuration?
Any portable mobile phone charger should work. You can try it out with a normal USB cable to a computer. You should be able to go from running just on batteries, to running on USB and batteries, to running on just USB without the AudioMoth stopping or losing its configuration.

That is so cool....do I need to worry about what I buy re power input or would any mobile phone do ?
Yep, that should work fine.
