OK, and they work fine? I've got a few battery packs myself...
I've started having issues with any battery pack putting my ancient garmins into 'data' mode whenever I connect. If the 1030 doesn't do this with standard kit that would be cool.

Yeah, all the Garmins I've owned have worked fine with any external pack I've used. The 1000 was the only tricky one coz you needed an L-shaped USB to clear the bar it was mounted to.
What ancient Garmins are you talking about? You can probably avoid this with a USB data blocker - I've got a couple of these myself. Useful for using public USB charging when you don't want you phone contracting any malware from the "please hack my phone" charging spots.

Nope. I already have external battery packs that cost far less than Garmin's £100 external.
