best on bike portable charger?

[philhan89]

Been getting into some long rides lately. Not looking to invest in a dynamo. Seeking input on what others think the best portable charger for garmins and phone are. Ideally would be able to charge phone twice as well as Garmin twice. Browsing Anker chargers right now but seems a lil heavy...what do you all reccomend?

I use an Aker and a zendure. Anker is not too big, and so far it has lasted multiple days. But I have never needed to charge my phone with it. I like the zendure better, but it's a little pickier about minimum loads, and doesn't seem to turn itself on when my garmin gets low like the anker does.. The nice thing about the zendure is that it has pass-through charging, so if I ever get a dyno charger I can use both.

The Anker I have is 10ah, it's on sale at amazon for the next 5 hours if you have prime https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-Compact-High-Speed-Technology/dp/B0194WDVHI They have multiple Anker devices on sale for Prime day, I just bought the 13000mAh

I just went through this on my 6 day trip.
What I have for my camera is a lipstick size powerbank zip tied to a Twofish bike block which is attached to my stem with a Cateye rubber light strap. Then I run a short cable to the camera.
It's only about 2600 mA so it won't be enough for your needs.

I'd recommend getting a top tube bag with a hole for cables like the Topeak Fuel Tank. Get the size you'd like for the bike and then get a powerbank that will fit in the bag. I do like the Anker products. Both their powerbanks and cables are good.

If you check the mAh on your gadgets then you can figure out what you can live with for a powerbank.

I use Garmin's external charger (https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/571552) that mounts directly underneath my 820 (https://photos.app.goo.gl/9KRic4GuY6A86exDA). It's a very nice setup for extended time on my bike.
