This is all still in the testing phase. I may prove not to be the right solution.
This is my standard mode of operation on my Surly Long Haul Tracker with the dynamo. During the day my Anker Astro E5 1,500 mAh battery sits in my handlebar bag plugged into my dynamo charging. Overnight in the tent I charge by Garmin Edge 810 and tablet or whatever esle I want to top up. Works a treat.

That said I am now downsizing the Anker E5 replacing it with a RAVPower Portable Charger 6700mAh Power Bank External Battery which is smaller, lighter and has a higher output rating.
