So I just got an email back from Sinwave. They stated that the Cinq5 is a great battery to use. 3000mah so less to charge but also less resistance to charge than a 5000mah. its will easily run a phone or garmin and has pass through charging capability. Needed for me on the really remote long rides I have planned.
I hope someone can help me. I currently run a K Lite Bikepacker Pro and SP dynamo hub set up on my Cutthroat. I have a Sinwave Revolution USB charger on this setup. I currently have a 6000mah Outdoor Tech Kodiak 2.0 battery but it doesn't have any way of being able to charge and discharge at the same time (pass-through charging)
I was looking at the Cinq5 Smartpack but I can't find much in the way of reviews. I only need to charge a Garmin 820 or an Iphone6 on long rides.
I'm looking for a cache battery that has the following features:
1. Rugged and water resistant 2. Pass-through charge capability 3. Not too big or heavy 4. Works with Micro USB or standard USB.
Let me know what you guys use and or if you have any recommendations.
I'm planning a two week ride across western Canada on the Trans Canada Trail from Calgary to Tofino. On the way I will need to power a phone, camera and GPS. Which solar charging units are worth using? I have been reading mixed reviews and its very confusing as to which unit is the best to use. The Power Monkey unit looks like a good piece of kit unless anyone else has other recommendations?
I road biked the Sannich Penisula last year and loved the island. I live in Calgary so I will be coming back this year to check out the bike packing side of things. Thanks for the post. Rich
