Things to think about are, location of the charging port on the phone and how that works with whatever mount you use as well as being aware that even if it’s a waterproof phone (or not), you can get water in voa the port.
I've tried charging my phone with external battery while riding. The cable always gets jarred loose, or the phone and battery overheats because of sun exposure and the battery won't charge. I just like the high capacity batteries, at least for now, because I know they work. when I can't get a phone anymore that can use hc batteries, then I'll look at external batteries again. Do you know of a specific phone, cable, and external battery does has a track record of working well together under non-ideal conditions?
