Portable Charger for Edge 520

Former Member over 9 years ago

Keep having the Edge 520 die on me on rides of over 10 hours in length.

Off on a 12-14hr ride this weekend and want a recommendation on the smallest portable charger on the market that i can tape to my stem.

Last week I tied my 1800mah pack to my stem which was ok but realistically I only need 500mah maximum for the 520 so don't want to carry unnecessary weight around with me on a 220km ride.

Lipstick sized seems to be the smallest one I can find, but they are still 2000mah +.

This tiny one looks ideal but doesn't seem to be available yet http://www.thegadgetcode.com/2013/03/worlds-smallest-portable-charger-handy.html

any tips?

If I need extra runtime I take one of these:

A good deal more than a single cell powerbank but it's quite a decent light too. Garmin or GoPro mount, can charge other devices and be charged from a hub. The 520 won't go into mass storage mode if you use an OTG cable, just need to cancel the auto power down when you unplug it, you know that already though.
