An iPhone 5 has a 1440 mAh battery. The battery charger indicated has 10,000 mAh. You can't get all of that out. So, let's say it's 20% less (or 8000 mAh).
Thus, about 5.5 full charges.
A Garmin Edge 800 has a 1000 mAh battery.
Even if you had some power source on the bike (
like a hub dynamo), you probably want to have a battery also (which you could charge from the power source).
If you can get access to electric power ever 2-3 days, an appropriately sized battery charger might be enough.
