Wahoo Bolt and external battery pack
Can anyone tell me if the Wahoo Bolt will still collect/display data if I should connect it to a battery pack mid ride?
I see it’s rated for 15hours use and I have a ride coming up I believe will exceed that by a few hours.

Why not go for a short ride and connect it up mid-way and see?
Are you really going to be riding non-stop for that long? If not, then just end and save each segment and charge with the battery pack between the rides. Some sites and software allow you to join multiple rides together as one activity... At least they use to, I haven't looked lately.
If you are going to be riding non-stop, then connect it to the external battery from the very start. Then Murphy has less chance to trouble you.

Yes it will. I've charged it at rest stops during all-day rides, worked just fine. But you should test your setup since not all packs and cables play nice with particular devices.
