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.

705s. They used to work fine - done charging on the go on PBP, TCR, IndyPac, audaxes, etc. But they don't work any more. I've got three of the buggers so it seems like some systemic thing as it has happened on all of them at the same time, like Garmin has saboutaged the firmware to make luddites like me upgrade.

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.
