As Speedo knackered on the PK I thought I’d stick a nice LED GPS one on , only £17 . Assumed it was chargeable via supplied USB but seems it will only run directly from 12v supply such as Cigarette lighter .
I have an old power bank as used on mobiles etc , if I stuck that in glove box any reason it wouldn’t work off that ?

Mines got a waterproof cigarette lighter type USB socket mounted in the top face of the glove box for accessories. My GPS speedo power take off is from the white wire on back of ignition barrel.

You will need a 12vDC power source. A "charger" meant for the mains will not work. SIP and Scooter Centre, and others sell something that will.

I have added a cigarette outlet mounted on the legshield spare wheel carrier, have taken 12v DC live direct from the battery and fused inline. for phone gps etc. with a USB adapter, has a waterproof cover when out off use.
Also your battery pack idea would work.
And with Waze APP its a speedo and gps.

Thanks all !
I have mounted GPS unit on top of Glove box and connected it to a small £9.99 Argos power bank inside glove box.
Don't know why or if it should but so far its working although only been on a couple of short trips.
