Hey there.
I plan on using the Fenix5 for a 24hours long race soon. I have purchased a nice little 3500mA power bank with the intention of charging on the go but I am having issues.
The power bank has some auto shut down mechanism of some sort and it doesn't detect the watch. It has a power-on button that, if pressed, starts to charge the watch straight away but it stops automatically after 30 seconds.
Now, this auto shutdown feature is commong as I learned by googling. The problem is that it seems that most power bank has this feature.
Have you managed to sucesfully charge your fenix 5 with a power bank ? If so, could you kindly tell me which brand it was ?
EDIT:
Ok, I am stupid. The power bank does detect the watch during the activity. I was trying while at home, with GPS off and it drains too little to be detected by the powerbank.
