Long rides, bikepacking trips, and ultra-distance events all share one challenge: keeping your computer running. The Garmin Charge Power Pack extends Edge battery life by up to 24 hours using a 3100mAh lithium-ion cell that connects directly through electrical contacts on compatible Edge models. No cables means no worn-out micro-USB ports or moisture intrusion during multi-day rides.

The power pack mounts to the underside of Garmin's flush out-front mount using a lever-lock adapter. Compatible Edge computers (1000, 1030, 1030 Plus, 520, 520 Plus, 530, 820, 830, Explore, and Explore 820 models) connect through five electrical contacts on the back of the device, eliminating cable management on your handlebar. For Edge models without electrical contacts or other Garmin wearables, the pack includes a USB-A port that supplies power through a standard charging cable.

IPX7 water resistance handles rain and road spray during extended rides. The rating covers submersion to one meter for 30 minutes, which accounts for wet conditions most cyclists encounter. Operating temperature range runs from -4°F to 140°F, and the unit recharges from an AC wall adapter in about four hours using the included micro-USB charger.... Read More
