On long rides, I keep a small external battery in my tool bag and run the charging cable to my phone which is on the handlebar. (My tool bag is under my saddle.) This past Sunday, I rode 60 miles. At the end, my phone's battery was still at 100%. Not only is it convenient not to discharge the phone's battery, it is good for the phone's battery's life. Discharging and recharging wears it down.
