Edge 530 won't charge while riding

During ultra races I've been trying to run my Edge 530 and have it attached to a USB external battery pack at the same time.  After a short while I get the message "External Battery Power Lost" and while it seems to drain power slower than it would while to plugged in it is definitely NOT charging. Anyone seen this?

    Some external battery packs shut down on very low charging currents. This is unlikely when charging devices with large batteries (eg. phones), but can be encountered when charging small devices such as the Edge. Note especially as the Edge battery gets above 80% (and even more so with 90%+) the charge current can slow to trickle charging - this may be below the rate at which your external battery pack shuts down.
