Hi all
I am thinking of possibly doing a long ride later next month (Otsuki 13.0). I realise that this ride will probably take around 20 hours. This will mean both my Garmin 510 and Moon Xpower300 will run out of battery. I have been looking on Amazon for an external battery that could potentially charge the devices whilst on the go. Does anyone have any experience of charging Garmin devices or lights from an external battery? I was looking at something like this

or this

I always get my Volts mixed up with my amps etc. Would these batteries be able to charge my Garmin and my Moon light (The light has a mini USB port. The charger it comes with has an output of 5V 700mA). I don't fancy running out of battery halfway up mountain in the pitch black so having some way of charging the devices is a must.
Also, does the garmin still function fine when being charged and on the move?
Cheers
